Instructions:
- Document your claims. Do not write from the top of your head.
- Essays should be double-spaced and no more than three pages long. I will not read past the third page.
- Essays should be in the form of Word documents. Do not submit pdfs or Google docs.
- Cite your sources with endnotes in Chicago/Turabian style. Endnote pages do not count against the page limit.
- Do not use ChatGPT or any other generative AI. Misrepresenting AI-generated content as your own work is plagiarism. It will result in a referral to the Academic Standards Committee.
- Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you.
- Turn in essays to Canvas by 11:59 PM, Monday, March 3: note the extra time. (If you have trouble with Canvas, simply email it to me as an attached Word file.) I reserve the right to dock essays a gradepoint for one day’s lateness, a full letter grade after that.
