IFSM 300 – Assessment
Each
Assessment Question is worth five (5) points, maximum. Remember, this is a
300-level course, so I consider grammatical/syntactical areas as well (refer to
your Syllabus for effective writing tips).
Do NOT change the content(s) of any of the Questions; in so doing, you
will forfeit the entire grade of this Assessment.
You
will need to use both textbook and Internet resources for your responses.
Please cite the source of your response.
