Responses can be turned in one of two ways. If you just want the grade with minimal feedback, you can submit to the assignment drop box on Canvas (please only submit as .doc, .rtf, or pdf files. No .pages extensions). I will not provide a lot of feedback on papers submitted in the drop box. If you want more extensive feedback, please turn in a paper copy of your response (no drop box needed). Do NOT e-mail me response papers. Late papers will lose 2 points per each day the assignment is late.

Make sure the responses are your own. Any papers that are identical will receive a grade of zero (0).
