These are reputable sources listed above and this is proven by the fact that multiple other sites and reference validate the information found on the sources listed above, but also they are reputable sources for countless other topics.

g. Using last week's assignments (When you login to class to submit your work, it can be found at the very top of the page, Assignments link), review Project 1 work submitted by your classmates. Browse through your classmates web pages. What do you notice in general. Choose any two classmates and tell us what you have in common with that classmate, worth 1 percent of total semester grade.

In reviewing last weeks submissions a couple of the items I notice is that while there are some who have a working knowledge of Latin America, there still acknowledge that like me, there is much to learn. There are also quite a few folks who are past the traditional age of college but are still working towards a degree. For me, that is encouraging because I'm in a similar circumstance.
