Evaluation
Essays are graded out of 45, and are worth 45% of the total course mark. Each essay will be evaluated in terms of (1) the clarity of its thesis, (2) the coherence of its argument(s), (3) evidence of original research and its careful integration into the fabric of the essay, (4) thoughtful reflection on the subject matter, and (5) faithful adherence to the content and formatting guidelines mentioned below.

Content
The paper must have a clear thesis which is defended consistently throughout. An essay without a thesis cannot receive more than a C+. A thesis essentially summarizes, in one or several sentences, the entire point of your essay. It is simply not enough to say �I am going to talk about x, y, and z�; you must be more specific than that. A good thesis should be concise and straightforward, and must endeavour to prove a point: �In this essay, I am going to demonstrate that x because of y and z.� You may not use the wording of this example in your essay.

Due Date
Essays are due at the beginning of class on June 12th, 2014. Emailed versions of the essay are not acceptable.

Penalties
Essays not handed in on the due date will receive a mark of zero. Absolutely no exceptions will be made to this rule. Papers submitted late due to a medical or other compassionate reason must be accompanied by relevant documentation (i.e., a medical certificate, etc.). Plagiarized essays will be assigned a zero, and the issue will be taken up with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
