By the end of Thursday submit a 1 page analysis of this case. By Sunday post two responses to your classmates. The purpose of the responses is not to say, “good job” or “I agree” but to give a critique of their logic. Find holes in the analysis of your classmates. Don’t be mean or disrespectful, but offer creative feedback. You will be graded on both your post and your responses so please put some thought into the analysis. A response only needs to be a paragraph long.
