What did you find was the easiest task? What was it like to have a partner?Would you have rather done this alone? Is this a fair assessment of Chapter 3 material and why?


The easiest task was finding the answers to the questions asked. It was nice having a partner because if I didn't understand something i had someone who could help me and also splitting up the work was nice. I'd rather not do something like this alone because its alot of work to do alone. Yes this is a fair assessment because it asks questions that covers everything we did this chapter and it has us delve into the information even more.
