Assignment

@sleepyshaman2536 6 жыл бұрын

I had to listen to this for an assignment as well. my observation is that either the reader is adding things or my school made us read a version that did not have all the lines in it, as if to see if we were really paying attention, either way is academic folly, lying to see if we comply, or lying for views.

@sleepyshaman2536 6 жыл бұрын

when I am done with this weeks assignment I will be making sure to research this. I will find out if the channel is connected to my school. if not I will make sure this is taken down if possible.
