Essays should be 5-7 pages long and double-spaced with 1-inch margins in a standard font (Times New Roman or Helvetica) and citation style (Chicago or MLA). Essays must also have in-text citations and a works cited page.Essays that do not adhere to these standards will lose points accordingly. Additionally, essays will be graded on clarity and engagement with course materials.
