Quiz Numero Dos

Remember--- although you are welcome to discuss the questions with classmates, YOU NEED TO WRITE YOUR OWN ANSWERS. If you cheat, we will embed you in carbonite.

Here are the questions. You are encouraged to use a word processor like Google Docs or Microsoft word to type out your answers before you submit them. 

Once they are all written, then open the quiz and copy and paste them into the following Google Form. SUBMIT ONLY ONCE. 


The ideal answers are logically complete but short and succinct.  Make sure you use your own examples (not the ones from lecture).
