Grading
Please respond to these topics individually with a clear opinion or thesis. Use no more than two paragraphs to make sure you synthesize your point and be very specific. More information can be confusing and will not improve your grade and could be very time-consuming for your peers to read. References, attachments, links, videos, etc. are recommended to support your point. "I agree or disagree" are not acceptable answers and avoid personal and/or superficial opinions.
