Take home quiz #1 -  First take-home quiz posted by  Mon., Oct. 19 - due Wed., October 28, 2020.

You will have an opportunity to take two take-home quizzes. These will be handed out at least 4 days before they are due.  Late quizzes will receive a 15% grading penalty for each day they are late.  [If you cannot get a quiz in on time, please let me know you need to take a make-up quiz with a different deadline.] Unless otherwise indicated, please complete the quiz in less than 500 words.  All work, except in-class writings, is to be typed.  Quizzes are to be turned in electronically on the date due through Canvas (if you cannot access Canvas, please email the quiz to me at kagan@lemoyne.edu , and - in addition to the file attachment - please paste the text of your answers into your email message. ) [Syllabus]

You can take this exam alone or as part of a group (please keep group numbers at four or less). If you do this as a group, please have each and every group member turn in one copy of the exam on Canvas with every member's name on it.  If you have problems using Canvas to turn in the exam, please email the quiz to me at kagan@lemoyne.edu, and – in addition to the file attachment – please paste the text of your answers into your email message, making sure every member of your group is sent a copy.

Clearly indicate your sources, including class notes, and conversations with fellow students.

If you do the exam as a group, for each and every member of the group who is to receive credit for your exam, please indicate that group member's contribution(s).   

For this take-home quiz answer the following [1 AND (2a OR 2b), in bold text] in less than 500 words or so. If you go over a little bit (less than 100 extra words), do not worry.  Headers, citations, and source credit will not be included in the word count.  Source credit includes – for those working in groups – explanations of each group member’s contributions to the quiz.)

1. Please list one (1) moral or ethical issue you find interesting/important and explain what makes it interesting or important. (Your response to the in-class writing assignment should be useful here.) 
   
   Then: 

 2a. Explain how one of the assigned readings provides insight(s) and/or helps you understand/respond to the issue you listed as interesting/important.
