You have four questions but you are only required to answer TWO questions.
Submitting a fourth question will not benefit you as I will not grade it. Answers
to each question must be submitted on or before the due date – pick wisely. For
each of the questions I expect you to apply concepts covered in course material
and from your own review of the literature. A sample paper is provided in Bb
for your use as a guide of what I am expecting. Each paper must be 5 pages long
excluding cover page and references. See syllabus for detailed comments on
paper format etc.
