Essay Exam #1
Essays should have sufficient breadth and depth to indicate more than a passing awareness of the issues raised in the questions. Grading will be determined based on the thoroughness of response and the ability to properly apply knowledge gained through the text and other readings. Essays should be “term paper quality.” Pay attention to spelling, sentence and paragraph structure, organization, and citations.
