Description


This work consists of five essay questions. Each essay question has a Part A and a Part B that you are required to answer. Answer all five questions in one word document. Plan on one page per complete answer.

The final item will require you to submit a single document with your Part A and B answers to your five randomly selected essay questions.

In answering these questions, you should specifically cite course concepts – especially if a particular author or source is listed in the question. You will also support your answers with your personal experiences in Part B.

Since you will be citing concepts in Part A, you will utilize in-text citations when directly quoting or summarizing from course material. At the end of each essay answer, you should properly cite your reference(s) in current APA format. While the length of each of your essay answers may vary, a good rule of thumb is approximately 250 words. A.) Using both C.
