Mark Breakdown
Essay is worth 40% of your final grade
70% of grade is content
20% (2 pages of opinion/validation)
10% correct referencing/APA style
When writing your essays, when I refer to compare and contrast, I am referring to comparing and contrasting the research/sources which is a part of writing an essay APA style. If the information you are using is all the same, then you will only be comparing. Also, when writing this essay, I do not require you to include an abstract.
Photos, graphs or charts are not allowed as they are not APA style! If anything other than 10 pages of solid writing content appears in the paper (charts, graphs, pictures, etc.,) this will result in an automatic 30% deduction from your overall grade!
NO BLUE FONTS ALLOWED! I need to warn students that when you copy and paste information directly from websites into the body of your essay or into the reference section, that is plagiarism and can be an automatic zero on the assignment. I should not see blue font in your essays or reference sections. If I do this could result in a major penalty or zero, be forewarned! I have seen this too much lately and do not want to see this in my course. Other instructors will not only fail you on the assignment but entire course for this! All of your writing content must be in black, 12 point font and some version of Times Roman, Century or Courier, no exceptions! Blue coloured fonts appearing in the essay is an automatic 20% deduction penalty.
Two pages of the essay are devoted to your opinion. I would like to see this at the end of the paper, and since it is in your own words, it is your ‘critique’ and this part of essay therefore does not have to include APA citations.

Penalty for late submissions is 10% per day! Essays must be due by 6 pm ET on specified dates, no exceptions.
What your essays should contain:
1) You are writing a research/descriptive essay about your topic:
– history of the person if it is a person or
– brief history of the topic if that is what it is (all the information that you can get on it and is either similar (comparing it) or different (contrasting it). If the information is all the same then obviously it is a comparative essay.
2) I will state this one more time: COMPARE means using similar information which states the same line of reasoning, research and histories, and CONTRAST means differing opinions and information on the research.
3) Make a thesis statement or hypothesis to start your essay!
4) The body should contain as much research that pertains to your topic.
5) Towards the end, 2 pages should be devoted to your opinions on the research or topic you are covering.
6) You should then conclude the paper.
7) APA style writing is the preference but will accept Chicago style/MLA.
