If you send me your essay after the specified due date and time, .3 will be deducted for each 24-hour period after the deadline has elapsed. For example, if your overall grade for the essay based on the grading criteria described in this syllabus would have been a 3.7 but you submitted the essay at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 28, your overall grade on the essay would drop to a 2.8. No essay will be accepted after Noon on Saturday, September 28.Additional InstructionsYour essaymust be typed and double-spaced, using 1-inch margins and 11-point Times New Roman font or another font of equivalent size.Your essaymust demonstrate your understanding of the relevant course materials, as well as your ability to apply thearguments and ideas from these materials to the questions I have posed. The appropriate length of anessay may vary depending on the problemsposedand the student writing the essay, but you should anticipate that your essaywill run approximately 5 -8pages in length, typed and double-spaced. I wont necessarily penalize a studentfor going either above or below this estimated essay length. However, given the scope of the questions you will have to address, if a specific essay is fewer than 5pages in length your analysis is probably superficial.
