Please pick question number 6 to answer!

You select one of the six questions below to answer. Each answer must be minimum one page in length but can be longer. Answer the question by using the material in the previous lessons and/or any other resources. On the Blackboard "Mid-Term Discussion Assignment Forum" Board post the question you choose and the complete answer for the rest of the class to see. (Make sure the question number and description is included in the subject line so it will make it easier to review by the other students. ie - Question #2 - WHMIS.)

All students are then required to respond with a question to two other students answers to other questions than the one that you answered. The original author of the answer must then respond to all student comments.
