  • Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions (i.e., an introduction, middle paragraphs and conclusion).
  • Responses must be typed double-spaced, using a standard font (i.e. Times New Roman) and 12 point type size.
  • The faculty will be evaluating you on your ability to present a well-organized and developed response that is clear in its presentation of the course material. Your presentation must be based on the course textbook. For maximum credit, you will also need to include outside sources.
