Each essay should be at least two paragraphs and 300-350 words long (10 words more or less fine) and should be well-cited. In-text citations and references are not included in the word count.

I will follow the writing assignment grading rubric while grading the essays.
 
No plagiarism will be allowed. The essays will be submitted through plagiarism tool, which automatically flags issues of plagiarism. Give the proper quote marks – “….” – to the quotations so that I know that they are quotes. Ensure that you write the essays in your own words. Plagiarized essays will receive a zero grade and possibly referred to the Dean.
 
You can type the essays on your computer and then copy and paste the text on the assignment submission page, or type directly on the page.

At the end of each essay write the word count of that essay.
