Week 2 – Weekly Review 2

Week 2 Review Part 2: Essay Question

[WLOs: 1, 2, 5, 6] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4]

The writing assignment this week is the second part of the Weekly Review activity. You have received your randomized essay question as the final part of your Week 2 Review Part 1: Objective Questions activity. You will copy and paste this prompt into a word document and write a short essay that addresses the prompt. The prompts will be associated with real-life scenarios; however you will use your Study Guide to prepare. This portion of your Weekly Review cannot be retaken as you were able to retake the Part 1 Objective Questions. The essay question will be graded by the instructor and not automatically. Feedback will be given so you can improve your performance throughout the course.

Your essay
