Important:
To get a good grade for this assignment, you need to show a considerable revision of your text in terms of language (Grammar, Vocabulary Choices, Sentence Structure). In addition to content and organization, I will grade the overall readability of your text: Points will be subtracted for grammatical errors, typos, errors due to sloppiness.
Use the help of native speakers/writers' workshop services to ensure that your text is grammatical and reads authentic-like.
Make sure that the organization and the format of your essay corresponds to the guidelines on thesis statements, introductory/concluding paragraphs, flow and coherence that we have covered in class. When necessary, you can access all of our in-class materials from this web page.
Word Count:
Your essay should be minimum 500 and maximum 800 words long. Not observing a word count will affect your grade.
Formatting:
Your font size should not be less than 12 (for fonts that look similar to Times New Roman/Vernada);
Use 1.5 space;
Do not submit PDF. DOUBLE SPACE YOUR TEXT; MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A HEADER THAT TELLS YOUR NAME (in this way, each page of your text will be signed).
Your source articles have to be incorporated into your essay and have been provided to you already. Make sure you site this (and any other) sources you use in your work. Use APA citation style.
