ESSAY GUIDELINES -:

Write a 1000-1500-word essay addressing each of the following points. Be sure to completely answer all the questions for each bullet point. There should be two main sections, one for each bullet below. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper.

Support your ideas with at least three (3) sources using citations in your essay. Make sure to cite using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page in correct APA do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

Length: 1000-1500 words; answers must thoroughly address the prompts in a clear, concise manner.

An introduction that:

sets out the context/background of your argument;
introduces the content of the essay;
introduces the theoretical perspectives you will be using;
may define key terms (alternatively you can do the work of defining terms in the second paragraph);
sets out your thesis statement/line of argument/central contention; and
explains how the essay will be organised (order of points).
A body containing several paragraphs, each of which will:

present a topic sentence or central idea supporting your thesis statement/line of argument/central contention;
contain developing sentences which extend on or amplify the topic sentence;
give evidence/examples/references that support/relate to your topic sentence; and
provide a concluding/linking sentence.
A conclusion, which:

restates your thesis statement/line of argument/central contention; and
summarises the points and evidence you provided to support your thesis.
This means two pages of content, which requires clear and focused writing. Avoid excessive use of quotations.
To submit your paper:

Submit an electronic copy in the assignment drop box by the due date.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
