Discussion Assignment: The purpose of the discussion responses are to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply the course material. Therefore, you must read the text and listen to the lecture before responding to the questions. When responding to the questions, put your answers in your own words when possible and try coming up with your own examples of the concepts rather than using mine.
