Response Guidelines: 1 hour!

· Response Guidelines:    

· 2 response questions (worth 50 points each). Both of the response questions require answers of 250 words or more; responses will be graded using the Midterm/Final rubric located in the Grading Rubrics folder on the main course page. 

· The  only  acceptable sources allowed for use on the response questions is the literature assigned and provided in class.  No  sources other than the assigned course literature may be used . Responses that use forbidden sources, even if cited correctly, will not receive credit!  

· While the use of quotes/citations is not strictly required for these responses, it is good practice to support your claims with textual evidence from the literature. However, any direct quotes from literature assigned in class should be brief in length (1-3 lines) and used sparingly. 

· If/when quoting from the literature, you must use  MLA Style in-text citations as needed. For more information about MLA in-text citations, visit this page:  MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics
