Due 4/13.Essays are to be approximately 5 typed double-spaced pages in length, organized around a thesis derived from the prompt.  You are expected to back your arguments with references to the assigned text(s) and to cite correctly all sources (see the instructions on the last page of the syllabus for details).  Essays should be submitted via email no later than 11:59pm on the day they are due.  They must be proofread before submission.  Three (3)errors  or more will affect your grade, as will lateness.
