Assignment 1: Understanding Grading Criteria and Expectations

Upon completing the assigned reading you will submit the weekly assignments. Your assignments are graded using a 10-point scale (10 (A), 5 (C), or 0 (F)).
You will receive the full 10 points for answering the questions completely in-depth and constructively. You will receive 5 points for partially answering the questions, scarcely, or not critically. You will receive 0 points for not answering the questions at all or not putting forth sufficient effort.
No two individuals will have identical questions.
You will be asked short answer questions that define concepts in the text.
You can enter the assignment as often as you wish during the availability period. 
Expectations
You are expected to answer each of the questions in short-response format, where an introduction and conclusion are not necessary. Each response should reference the weekly materials assigned. Each response should be -at minimum- two paragraphs with a maximum of three paragraphs. Points will be deducted for poor grammar, incomplete answers, and no reference to the assigned readings for the week.
