If you missed the seminar, submit well-thought out written responses to two questions (100%; one question=80%). You will not receive credit for answers to the Close-Ended questions.
If you were in class and did not respond twice, use the back of your remaining half-sheets ("buns") to respond to the questions. If you respond to a question discussed in class, your response must add to the conversation we had. (+10 pts. each.) As above, you will not receive credit for answers to the Close-Ended questions.
