This assignment has you complete a study guide for each course topic. You will find a list of items to respond to for each study guide. Using any and all course materials, answer and/or discuss each of questions. I will be looking for thoroughness and degree of accuracy. DO NOT LEAVE ANY ITEMS BLANK. Points will be deducted if you do.
Indicate which items you might be having trouble with, or those that are confusing, but again, DO NOT LEAVE ANY ITEMS BLANK. You will submit your answers via GoStudio by uploading a Word document by the due date listed in the course schedule. Note: GoStudio will prevent late submissions.
