Essay Guidelines

Each essay will have one question.

Write your answer in a word processing document (Microsoft Word, Google docs, Pages, etc.).

The essays are open-note open-computer.

You should draw on the course readings and videos. You can also use outside sources if you wish, but that isn’t required.

Grading will be based on the following:

● Answer the question. ● Refer to relevant evidence. If you include charts and/or tables, put them at the end and

don’t include them in the word count. ● Address potential objections. What would a critic say are the weak points in your case?

How do you respond? ● Write clearly. ● Use proper grammar and punctuation (“I,” “me,” and contractions are fine), and adhere

to the following length, formatting, and citation instructions. Length: No more than 1,000 words (excluding charts, tables, and footnotes). List your word count on the first page, along with your name and the date. Formatting: single-space, 12-point font size, 1-inch top and bottom margins and 2-inch side margins. Use footnotes (not a reference list or bibliography) to give credit to anyone from whom you borrow evidence or argument. The footnotes aren’t included in the word count. I’m not picky about the formatting of the footnotes, but include the author(s), title, and year rather than just an internet address.
