Greetings students: while I am away, I thought that the Wiki may be the best way to complete the assignments. Please do not get critical of each other regarding the discussion questions. Maybe if you read each others' answers, you might get a better understanding of one another. Who knows, maybe there is a Morrie within each of us waiting to come out!!
