The study objectives cover important concepts from the Week 7 readings and lecture. Completion of these study objectives is required. Content from this week will appear on future exams, so it is recommended that you complete these study objectives and use them when studying for exams. Study objectives should be written in YOUR OWN WORDS and not copied directly from the text or supplemental materials (e.g., powerpoints). Submissions will receive feedback from the instructor.
