You should also answer the questions on the back of the Core Study 3.4 packet on a separate sheet of paper.  You may continue to work on this for homework if necessary, but the packets from class may not be taken as they are a class set and I need it for the other students.  Take a picture of it if necessary.  All work should be completed by Wednesday, 10/29/14 when I come back.
