As a courtesy, I’m reposting one part of the instructions below, but be sure to return to the revised syllabus and read all the instructions carefully to achieve full credit.

Part 2: By no later than 9 pm on Wednesday, April 18, choose one question someone else has posted on the blog (not your own question), and answer it. You should compose your answer in a comment to the original post. Indicate the number of the question you’re answering in your comment. Once someone answers a question, it’s CLOSED. No one will get credit for answering a question that has been answered already. Your answer should be a complete, thorough mini-essay of at least 8-10 sentences.
