General Guidelines for the assignment:
Since you are the future leaders of tomorrow, the questions are meant to invoke your critical thinking skills.
You may submit your responses by typing into the text box or by uploading a Word document or PDF. Additionally, should you wish to record a video, make an audio recording, do a narrated and engaging PowerPoint, create a web page, etc., you may also do that. Keep in mind that you must meet the parameters of the assignment for the written format and use that as your guide for an alternative submission. Meaning, be sure to submit a substantive response to earn maximum points. Start with an introductory paragraph to give the reader a clear picture of the topic. Assume that the reader has no knowledge of the subject matter and that you are being tasked with explaining the concepts. Subsequent paragraphs should support your topic with researched information from your textbook, outside resources, and your independent assessment. Be sure to end with a concluding paragraph and cite your sources.

1 ptsNo Description
The introduction gives the reader an idea of what to expect in the paper, but does not effectively lay out the main argument. It may begin with a set of rhetorical questions, or an anecdote that is never fully explained. The conclusion does little more than restate the problematic introduction.
