Parrot and Ferret Questions

(28 questions x 5 points each = 140 points)

You are required to do 28 parrot and ferret questions from 7 units (2 parrots and 2 ferrets from each unit). You are welcome to do more, but only a total of 28 of them will be graded.

At the end of some of the online lecture elements you will find interactive application questions called Parrots and Ferrets: Parrots - a review of concepts and Ferrets - application of concepts to real-world settings. The questions ask you to apply one of the concepts from the lecture to a real-world situation. By immediately rethinking and applying what you have encountered in one of the lectures, you increase your cognitive interaction and greatly improve retention. For each of the seven units you will be required to select and complete two parrot questions and two ferret questions. We do not mark your answer's "correctness," but we give you credit for participating. This assignment won't be marked until the end of the semester.
