Note: a number of you have been too closely paraphrasing each other's homework answers. Dr. Larsen has pointed this out in some cases (but not all) without deducting points. It is especially obvious when the answers are very wrong. This is about to change - points may be deducted in the future. Working together does not mean letting one person get the answer and everyone else writes the same thing using slightly different words. Working together means you bounce ideas off each other, and then write your own response. Film questions are group activities with a group response. Reading questions are individual assignments with individual responses. If you discuss reading with friends, make sure you do your own thinking and write your own response.
