Four ways to do your assignment 1. To conclude from common sense, no research is necessary (the worst way of doing it) 2. Research about the big picture (the second‐worst way of doing it) 3. The technical check (helpful if you lack details) 4. Proof/disproof the given details (the best way of doing it)

Alast brain teaser for you  • In this article, I will explain how people can get taller. There are many short people who have been told by their doctors that they have completed their growth spurt years and that they no longer will continue to achieve additional height. These doctors certainly have misinformed their patients, and as a result have discouraged them. Instead, they should tell them that if patients were to hang upside down for 10 minutes every 4 hours, they will stretch their spinal columns. If these short people follow this routine for one full month, they can increase their height two full inches and stand shoulder to shoulder with peers their age. The medical research about spinal stretching spans many decades and have been attributed to the success of many basketball players who sought to increase their height beginning in their middle school years.

That’s it for today! Please find the next assignment on the course Web page. 
