Assignment
You will need to choose one of the questions from each section and answer with an essay that includes detail, examples and citations. Go beyond simply stating the facts and do not copy directly from the book.
The long essay would be a traditional essay that typically five paragraphs long. The first paragraph should introduce the topic and state the student's position / answer to the question. It should contain between three-five (3-5) complete sentences, including the thesis statement for the essay. The second, third, and fourth paragraphs are the body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should contain between three-five sentences, including the topic sentence (first sentence of the body paragraph, states a main point that supports the thesis) and at least two-three specific examples per main point. The fifth and final paragraph should begin with a restatement of the thesis. It should be three-five complete sentences, and include a brief summary/conclusion of the student's answer to the essay question. It is essential, particularly in the survey courses, for students to provide cites and footnotes for their work in untimed exams. Citations must adhere to the Chicago Style format but perfection is not expected. An example of common citations are included on pages four and five of this edition.
