Assignment Instructions

Respond to the following short essay questions 

You are to prepare and submit your final assessment in a Microsoft word document and submit as an attachment. Use proper APA for citations and format, which includes using Times New Roman (Font 12).  State each topic question followed by your response in paragraph form.  Your response to the questions combined should be at least 4-6 pages.

Based on the assigned readings, your responses are to be in your own words using paraphrasing  with minimal direct quotes.  Please keep in mind that even when you paraphrase, you must properly cite. What I am looking for here are your own thoughts and opinions that demonstrate your understanding of the topics and the course materials. When you submit your midterm (word document) for grading, it will automatically be submitted to Turnitin.
