Submission Expectations
-Value quality over quantity: you do not need to write a lot to get full credit here, but you do need to show you are mastering and able to apply the concepts learned.
-Support your claims with clear arguments and details from the narrative and the lecture.
-Use MLA or APA format written in Times New Roman 12 pt. font with 1 inch margins.
-Include in-text citations for all paraphrases and quotations.
-Essays will automatically be reviewed through TurnItIn, an application that analyzes the extent to which writing is plagiarized from other sources. Plagiarism will be dealt with as outlined in the syllabus.
-It is better to cite materials than to plagiarize (using someone else’s words as if they were yours), but the point of the assignment is for you to demonstrate your own understanding, so at least 80% of the writing should be your own words.
-Submit your essay in a Word .doc or .docx format.
