Answer the following questions as completely as possible. Reference your answers informally (meaning you need not use APA style). For a reference to our text use (Text, p. xx). For a Web page use the url (http://domain.com/directory/file/). For print material, cite author(s), date, and pages (Smith & Barney, 2001, p. 345-347). Direct any questions to me via e-mail (epkardas@saumag.edu). Return your answers at the beginning of class next week. Answer ALL of the questions! No handwritten answers will be accepted. Aim for at least one page per answer. Assume I know nothing.
