Papers will be evaluated for meeting the criteria stated below, as well as for grammar, thoughtfulness, logic, and pertinence to the topic. Each paper must be ONLY one (1) page long using a 12-point font, double-spaced, with 1 margins (top, bottom, and sides). Your paper should be written in paragraph format (not bulleted), and should address all parts of each of the questions below. The entire assignment should only be one page long, no title page and no separate page for the reference. It usually takes me about two weeks to grade and provide feedback on these assignments (depending on how many submissions there are).
