Is there anything familiar/unfamiliar to you about the images? IN ADDITION to posting your own discussion, please also reply to one of your classmate’s posts. Remember to be thoughtful and offer constructive comments. • Download and print the blank Venn Diagram that has been uploaded onto Ucompass (under the “course materials” link).
