Expectations
I am often asked, “How long should my answers be?” While „quantity‟ does not necessarily equate to ‘quality’, it is true that some questions can be answered in 3 lines, or in 3 pages, therefore, please make sure to tighten your answers to concepts/theories discussed in the lectures, and to succinctly answer to questions.
Assignment Questions
