1. What was discussed today in class?
Well today we discussed how to look at magazines and distinguish them as popular, scholarly, and trade. We learned the difference between them and how to tell them apart, and also we learned how to find the information page in magazines.
2. Describe the difference among a "popular", a "trade/professional," and a "scholarly" journal.
The difference between the three is that popular journals are very appealing and really are topics that are of interest to the reader, while scholarly is very plain and is only to inform someone on a specific topic. While trade journals are somewhat appealing and deal only with people interested in the specific trade.
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of print and electronic forms of periodicals?
The advantages of periodicals is that you get views on topics from different sources and can add more appeal to your research rather than just all textbooks. But the disadvantage is it could be biased or even not really valid or helpful.

I find your last point interesting. Why do you think that periodicals might be more biased or less valid than other types of publications?
Perhaps it's a question of evaluating your information, regardless of the format.
Please note that you are a day late with this posting.
