Final Essay

提交作业

For your final assignment, you will write a 2500-word to 3000-word researched essay on the topic you have previously written about for this class, making an argument for or against something . Your essay should be logical and devoid of fallacious reasoning. It should have a well-developed thesis which is supported by researched evidence, and should come to a logical conclusion. You may include information and sources from your Midterm Essay.

MLA documentation is required for all sources used. Essays that lack either parenthetical citation or a Works Cited page will not receive credit. BOTH ARE REQUIRED. Minimum 8 sources cited.

Essays that do not meet the minimum word count will receive no credit. Essays that go over the 3000-word maximum will be graded only on the first 3000 words. Please note that word counts exclude the heading on the first page and the Works Cited. The essay must be in proper MLA format, including double-spacing. No separate title page should be included. You must submit through VeriCite. Any essay with a similarity score 10% or above will receive no credit. Similarity scores below 10% will be evaluated individually. Any exact wording without quotation marks (highlighted in red in VeriCite) will result in no credit, even if the similarity score is below 10% Essays submitted through VeriCite may be resubmitted twice without penalty as long as all submissions are before the due date. If you submit more than three times total, a 10% reduction in total points will be taken for each submission over 3 (the original submission, plus two resubmissions). There will be no submissions allowed after the class ends. The usual 10% deduction per day will be taken between the due date and the last day of class. The class will remain open for three days after the last day, to allow you to see final grades and feedback on your final essays. No submissions will be accepted, however, after the last official day of the course, as determined by the LTCC academic calendar.
