Summer Assignment Info

Your job is to post your response to the chapters you are reading in "Napoleon's Buttons; Seventeen Molecules that Changed the World" at least every other chapter. For the chapters you do not post your own response, you need to respond to someone elses post in some way. You will be scored on the depth of your thought and use of examples from the text or beyond in your post. For example. "Wow that was cool I never knew that" gets you 1 point. " Wow the fact that a asorbic acid stops scurvy is really cool" now we're at like 5 points. Now "Wow first the fact that simply eating limes made it possible to sail the seas. What was amzing is how long it took them to figure it out. The scientific model just wasn't really used on it. The relationship to its structure was also amazing. and probably a few more sentences about its structure." Now you will get 10 points for every post and five for every response. I will only give you the points based on the above division but I will take your best post scores if you post more then required.
