Instructions: Below you will find two questions for each of Chapters 9 through 15 of the Berk (2000) text chapters. One type of question requires you to connect with course content and the other requires you to apply it. Thoroughly (your answer should be more than a sentence or two) and succinctly (be clear and don’t ramble) answer ONLY one question for each chapter (No extra credit will be offered for answering more than the assigned number of questions). You may either save this document on your computer and insert your answers into it or copy/paste your chosen questions into a new document and answer them. Be sure to proofread your work. One half of one percentage point will be deducted for each grammar and spelling error. Avoid using quotes and answer questions in your own words, please. My task is to assess the extent of your comprehension, not how well you can copy/paste material you find in the book.
