Below are six lectures pertaining to English grammar, mechanics, and usage; in some cases, there are also video presentations included.  Study each lecture, and then complete at least one Exercise for each lecture (in some cases there are a few to choose from).
In a separate SINGLE document, create an answer sheet to record the answers for the six exercises for this week. Be sure to title each individually.  Please view this example of what your document might look like.
Keep in mind that while many of the exercises require only short answers, some do require that you re-arrange or revise passages; in such cases, you will want to write the entire revised sentence in your answer sheet.

read those articles and answer questions.
According to this recent Pew Research poll, (Links  https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2015/11/23/3-views-of-governments-performance-and-role-in-specific-areas/ .) American show high levels of cynicism about government, and display low levels of trust in the federal government.  However, when asked about specific programs Americans often show much more positive opinions of the performance of the federal government (Links https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/07/22/key-findings-about-americans-declining-trust-in-government-and-each-other/ .).  Why do you believe is this the case?  Do you believe this is a problem for American democracy?  Why or why not?

What was wrong with Wakefield’s study? Discuss at least 1 variable or approach that should have been controlled or assessed.
Consider the source of some of his data (parental memory, for example), the small sample size, and whether he considered other variables (genetics, diet, and so on) that could have resulted in symptoms in these children. 
Discuss the importance of a control group when using the scientific method.
Did Wakefield deserve to be barred from medical practice? 
What were the consequences of his inflated conclusions?
