You must submit your answers to the reading questions in two places each module: 1) as a Microsoft Word file in the reading questions submission link, and 2) copied into a discussion thread in the discussion forum for that week. Both submissions are due by Wednesday. If you post your answers in just one place or the other, you will receive zero points for the reading questions.
