Handouts and anything else you may be missing . . .
Song of Solomon
All of these are in MS Word and you may type your answers as long as:
1. The responses are not copied from other digital/print sources
2. The responses are not copied from classmates. You may work with your partner, but even then, the expectation is that your work will be your own.
3. You will need to print responses for your binder (yes, you may use my printer).
4. Please don't give in to temptation and submit plagiarized work, as then my options become quite limited.
For other and future assignments . . .
