    Toby,

    I'll post a suggested answer sheet on Monday. The only thing missing from this assignment is your research question about internet security? You need to take on of your questions and break in down into concepts and then apply boolean operators to connect them and make a search statement.

    1. Should probably have a bit more truncation: education* and "commercial service* and plagiaris* to capture more ideas.

    2. (U.S. or United States) and trade and globalization and middle class. You only use the parentheses to surround synonyms using OR, you should use "" around phrases.

    3. fish* and farm* is probably an okay starting point.
