▪ Grading. I will rate your assignment based on various levels of thoughtful
effort. Please ensure that you take time to demonstrate a deep understanding
in your answers, a willingness to think about application in your future work
life, that you have probed and reflected in order to have valuable take-aways
from this course, and that what you write is purposeful. Finally, please

▪ Rubric. In grading your assignment, I will look for you to express yourself
in a way that shows some level of mastery in understanding theory, subject,
assignment, or topics. Second, I will look for habits of the mind.
Specifically, I will look to your ability to express yourself by proposing
creativity and, where appropriate, multiple solutions or plans. Third, I will
look for you to go past the generalities of the theory, subject, assignment, or
topic and delve into the complexities of the content and what it means to
you. Fourth, and finally, I will look for an assignment that is professionally
thought-through and presented with craftsmanship using extreme care to
address each one of the questions in appropriate detail.
Here are your questions. Begin your answer immediately after each question.
Do not worry about eliminating instructions or re-phrasing questions. Just keep this
format as is. If you wish to write your answers in italic or another color such as
blue, to help them stand out, that is fine.
