3. Summary.  Provide a brief summary of the author’s argument or the information the reading presents.
   Archibald talks about how financial issues within the family can not be affordable and how expenses can be changed to help family's afford college but that would be changes through the financial aid system and college education. He recognizes the differences between a students affordability and family relationships with going to school and mostly about the financial issues with families. It is not all about the student, a family. Different family dynamics are now in play and non traditional families have changed, college board system should not assume dynamics and force certain pay on these families when not affordable at all. All information gathered is to support the possible redesign in his conclusion that offers many answers on financial issues with college.
4. Author(s).  Give some information on the author(s).  What makes him/her/them knowledgeable on the topic?
   Robert B Archibald has wrote many books on college financial costs and is credible through John Hopkins publisher. He is Chancellors professor of economics, so he would understand the costs of college and he has wrote about it in many articles with credible sources.
   
   
5. Key terms.  Define at least two key terms or key concepts used in the piece.
   - Enrollee-student that is enrolled into college to show that being a student isn't just education, its an expensive enrollment.
   - marginal social benefits -what an education can do for a student, is super hard to measure and depends on individual (page 80)
6. Three Quotes.  Give three quotations pertaining to your topic, with page reference.
   

   "Even if one takes the position that the societal benefits of higher education dominate the private benefits by a large margin, one can still support significant tuition and fee expenses for higher education. Higher education is different from many other goods and services in a critical way: to gain the benefits of a higher education, an enrollee has to supply effort." ( Archibald, 78)
   
   "The thrust of attempts to make a higher education more affordable should be to identify ways in which the education can be provided using fewer resources without sacrificing quality. It is possible that some of the innovations using computers and the Internet will be found to be more effective than large lecture classes, or that the availability of documents on the Internet will reduce the need to expand libraries." (Archibald 82)
   
   "Given the increasing number of students who come from single-parent families, or who live with grandparents, or are starting their higher education well after they have become financially independent of their parents, the assumption that a student is financially supported by two parents is increasingly an inaccurate" (Archibald 140)
   

7. Value. Explicitly explain how this material helps you to explore your research question.
   
   Throughout this entire scholarly article, there is reason about the financial system and how it can be unreasonable with purchases college tuition with families. The college board and other finances that the college has affect the overall tuition and family members of all sorts of different situations cannot afford these heavy tuitions. This article helps support and reason with the finance and notify the students as enrollee's to show that college is not just an experience for education its an expensive one.

I plan on using Archibald's article for my own use by using his examples of how the financial system in college is expensive and hard to afford, and how that can affect the family relationship and support with one another. That adds this burden on the child and a feeling of family separation when going off alone, a strong family is needed for their child to become a student at college.
