Paper , Order, or Assignment Requirements

Requirements:
This essay should be 4-5 pages in length, double-spaced, and 12-point Times
Roman font or equivalent.
It will count for 20% of the total course grade. Hand in a hard copy of the paper in
class but if not possible, alert me in advance.
Quotations and other references to specific passages should be either footnoted or
referenced in parentheses (authors last name/brief title and page number). For
footnoting, follow whatever style (MLA, Chicago, etc.) you are comfortable with.
Class lectures/discussions may be cited by date. Examples: (Sen, 235), (Class
Discussion, 09/21).

Look up the grading rubrics on Sakai to learn about expectations. Please note
that your answer should not be a mere mention of facts or a review of class notes.
Having a clear, specific thesis is as important as are analyses, concrete examples,
and organization. Introduce your points, develop them one by one, and conclude in
an organized manner. The best paper will be original in its efforts, analytical in
approach, and one that engages with readings and class lectures closely. Please
avoid grammatical errors. You are free to use outside sources (including websites)
but you need to discuss them with the instructor beforehand, either in person or
through email. Outside sources should be used only as supplemental and NOT as
main sources.
