1 Comments:

  • Generally speaking, the questions are very randomly ordered, and there doesn't seem to be a single theme (sub-topic/question) that unifies them. When you edit the questions, make sure to sequence them (exactly as you asked me in class), and make sure they're obviously part of a single grand sub-topic/question.

    I don't understand #8--there are actually positives from terrorism??

    #12 is the most difficult to understand. If you do keep it, preface it with a question to Suckow about whether or not he's familiar with the study.
