total of 40 points.  These will be 2+ pages each (they can and should be longer), based on a Chapter Question, starting with the textbook then at least two other sources from any legitimate mainstream book, journal article, periodical, or newspaper (in that order of importance; email me if you are unsure of a source’s legitimacy).  No dictionaries or encyclopedias, especially Wikipedia, are allowed.   You must properly cite a source using the APA Style for anything that is not common knowledge, let alone if you quote from it.  The more sources and citations, the better your grade will be (good social science needs cited facts to back it up).   I will also expect these Essays to get better and longer as the class progresses.
