SPRING SEMESTER
#16 Due June 12th
*I am so sorry for all the confusion and/or frustration. The wrong article was posted last week and I did not realize this until many of you had already completed it. With that said, I will of course accept either article and I will accept them for full credit through Tuesday. Thank you for your patience.
