Assignment Guidelines

Writing a successful academic essay is a process that requires several elements and steps.

        Clearly define the topic/question you are looking to address
        Research the topic using relevant scholarly and reputable sources
        Develop a Research Proposal in which you will outline your topic, some preliminary research, and an outline of how you intend to structure the essay
        Using feedback from your TA and peers, restructure and find additional sources as necessary
        Write your first draft, edit, re-edit, spell-check, have someone else read it, and submit it
