SUBMITTING ANSWERS TO REVIEW & CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

For CRITICAL THINKING questions, there are no right or wrong answers. For example, a question on your thoughts on why you think people are shy is a pretty open-ended type of question. Grades will be based on the depth of personal insight you present. Do not simply agree or disagree with an insight question. We are looking for critical thinking and possibly a related personal experience with the question.Always restate the question in your answer, and write in complete sentences.

It is important to provide detailed answers for insight/opinion questions.

For REVIEW questions, you should be produce a more academic answer. For example, "What two categories are norms divided into?" This type of direct question requires a specific answer. Please use full sentences, proper grammar, and restate the question in your answer.
