Assignments include both a prepared document (Part 1) you will upload as well as preparation and research (Part 2) that you will bring forward with you on the day of the online class and will be used as part of the online discussion – Please be prepared to chat live so a headset/microphone set up is needed as you will be placed in groups and report back

Please submit your responses to Part 1 in the form of an MS Word document to corresponding week’s assignments submission instructions. This may be written as a 3-part question series within one report. Please be sure to use APA format for the cover page and any supporting citation or quotes used as part of your narrative response. Sources must be cited and use of more than the textbook is expected
