Quiz #3

Quiz # 3 will cover chapters 10-13.

Sixth WebBoard Assignment

Choose a topic from chapters 12-13 that you found either interesting or confusing and write a paragraph about that topic (what you found interesting, new, or what was confusing about it) under web board assignment #6. Please place the subject or title in the topic space so other students know what the posting is going to be about. If the topic that you wish to post on is already being discussed add your ideas to the existing thread and write about another topic as your main posting.

In addition to your own initial posting on a topic, please read and post your thoughts and ideas to two of your classmates postings. (These secondary postings should be more than “I agree or disagree with your ideas/thoughts”.)
