You are required to answer the following questions. You should save your answers in a Word document for submission. Make sure to include your name and student id number as part of the Assignment response. For each assignment, you are expected to answer the assigned questions in your own words. Each assignment paper should be at least 300 words. Papers less than the required 300 words will get zero. This does not mean each question requires a 300-word response; rather, the total number of words for answering the questions must total more than 300 words.
