Directions: This take-home essay must be submit online. I will not take any hard copies - no exceptions (unless you have a medical reason AND I have appropriate documentation already on file). 30 points. NOT ACCEPTING LATE ASSIGNMENTS.
NOTE: I reserve the right to leave out parts of your submission if I believe you are just using filler to reach the word count requirement.

Questions? Let me know.
