Expectations
To provide a good analysis of your essay topic, you should use the materials you find yourself in the library. There should be at least twelve academic sources. Class readings, internet, and popular press sources will not count towards this total though they may be used.

In this assignment, you are expected to engage with the themes, writings and methods you have studied in the course as well as find other relevant academic writings to support your reasonings. The best papers will

1) present a clear thesis,
2) analyze rather than describe,
3) consider the full range of arguments relevant to the topic chosen,
4) define significant terms as clearly as possible,
5) be effectively organized (which can be achieved by stating the argument explicitly in the first paragraph, and by co-ordinating the thesis, contents, and conclusions),
6) avoid unnecessary grammatical errors (e.g., by means of proofreading), and
7) provide evidence of thorough and relevant research with appropriate referencing (i.e., footnotes or endnotes, and a bibliography).
