Unit Essay Guidelines
Writing assignments are the primary assessment of your learning in this course. Reading the material and taking completing open book activities does not fully demonstrate your command of the information. For this reason, the majority of your grade will be based on your written work. The deadline for the mid-term essay has been clearly identified in the course calendar. Late work will only be considered according to the late work policy. Once the deadline passes, the grade will be recorded as a zero. It is suggested that you identify which essay prompt you want to work on at the start of the course and consistent progress toward a final draft.All course readings, supplements, and activities are expected to have been examined prior to writing the mid-term essay.
