A question may have several sub-questions&#8230;! The clearer everything is, the better. If I can&#8217;t find something to address part of the question, that&#8217;s when points come off. So be clear and consistent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; font-size: 19px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">When I say &#8220;paragraph&#8221; I mean 2-4 (or more) good sentences. At least. One line won&#8217;t cut it. A whole page is too much. This is part of the &#8220;critical thinking&#8221; stuff- you have to know your answer well enough to get it conveyed in a reasonable manner. If you just start typing, you may answer the questions, but you may contradict yourself (BAD!) or you may miss a point. No, citations are not needed, I expect you to use the book and any linked material to support your choices. Again, the analysis bit- digesting a set of material and pulling YOUR important parts out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; font-size: 19px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">(Just FYI, this intro bit is about 200 words.

Just be sure to copy\/paste your whole answer back here as your post- I only grade what I see, not what you think I should see.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; font-size: 19px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Here are those homework<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><a style=\"cursor: auto;\">REMINDERS!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 19px 0px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1; cursor: auto;\">How am I graded?<\/h3>\n<table style=\"font-size: 19px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<caption style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">How am I graded?<\/caption>\n<tbody style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<tr style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<th style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Item to be scored:<\/th>\n<th style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Point range for Item:<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<td style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Clarity of position-<\/td>\n<td style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;0 &#8211; 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<td style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Support for position-&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;0 &#8211; 10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; font-size: 19px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">(This is per question.
