You get 2 points if the question is ambiguous, confusing, or your answer isn t correct, or you haven't provided a correct reference as to where the answer came from. If it s so obvious and easy that anybody could answer it without having to know the material, you earn a 1. The two point kinds of answers should have more explanation of why they re right than just citing a text or lecture reference. You must work independently in formulating questions. If we get too many questions that are very alike, there will be trouble.
