As you listen the lectures in this unit of the course, answer the questions belo

As you listen the lectures in this unit of the course, answer the questions below. You must submit your responses as a homework assignment by the due date. Your responses should be submitted as numbered bullet points (just like what you see below). This will help me in grading (because I typically like to grade all of #1, then all of #2, etc, and this is easier with numbered lists). Additionally, you should use your answers to these questions as study notes when you take Quiz 1.
