How to Complete an Essay Assignment

This short essay assignment offers you a chance to make connections

between your personal journey and the more specific journey we are taking

together in this course.

Essay Instructions

You should first follow the Essay Style Instructions found on each essay

prompt. Different types of essays require different styles, so it is

essential that you read the prompt carefully.

Your essay should be 1-2 pages long, double-spaced.

Write your essay in Times New Roman, 12 points, with one

inch margins.

Your name and the title of the essay should be at the top of the page,

centered, in bold.

Do not make your name and the title a larger type than the rest of the

essay.

Make sure to follow the instructions for the assignment, but in general

you should follow MLA format throughout the essay.

Save your essay in Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx) format or in PDF.

When you are finished, submit your essay to the correct folder in

"Assignments" under the assessment tab in the top navigation menu.

Grading

Essays will be graded using a rubric involving 5 categories: substance,

engagement, structure, support, and clarity.

Essays should follow MLA format. If you are unfamiliar with MLA
