short essay assignments

This term’s short essay assignments are not journal entries. While these assignments require you to read and think about the assigned course materials, you are expected to put more time and effort into thinking about the prompts and drafting your essay. These assignments aren’t fully developed term papers either. They are similar to the essays you would write for a take-home exam. You want them to be somewhat polished, but they don’t require extensive research or a major investment of time. Each short essay assignment you complete this term should be about 2 double-spaced pages. No points will be deducted if you don’t quite reach or if you exceed the page limit, but only writing a paragraph or two won’t allow you fully develop your ideas.

Since this is an essay, not a journal, you are expected to have a beginning (introduction), middle, and end. Your paper should be organized with clear paragraphs and transitions between them. You should develop your own ideas and arguments, but you will want to support these with evidence from our course materials, discussions, or research you’ve done on your own. Please make sure you cite any sources that you use.

This is short essay, and you are not be given enough time for you to produce a polished piece of writing. However, you should revise your paper at least once for clarity and make sure that you proofread it for grammar, word choice, spelling, and/or citation errors.
