ESSAY QUESTIONS & FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS:

Welcome to this online course. Online courses are conducted differently by each Professor, just as regular classroom/lecture courses are. In this course, you will have to respond to five Essay Questions. No exams will be given.

Use your textbook, any related websites and videos and powerpoints with each Essay Question, to respond to all five essay questions. Responses should be thorough, include definitions, examples, and demonstrate clear understanding of conceptual objectives listed on the Syllabus. Each response should be 3-4 pages in length, double spaced. Use APA citations but NO ABSTRACT.

Email all Essay Question responses to me at JBEHN@BERGEN.EDU. Your responses are due by 10:00 pm on the posted due dates. SEE DUE DATES ON THE COURSE HOMEPAGE. If you email your responses earlier than the posted due dates, I will not email you back with my comments and your grades until after each due date.

Thanks for your participation and I hope you have a good learning experience.
