The essay must be 450-550 words, adhere to either MLA or APA writing style guides, and use (either by direct citation or paraphrase) at least three academic sources (the text book can be used as one of the sources). Academic sources may include books, journal articles, news sources which enjoy longstanding acclaim (for example NY Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Sun Sentinel, Palm Beach Post, Time Magazine, the Atlantic, etc.), expert interviews, documentary or educational videos, existing law or regulations, etc. Academic sources do not include: wikis, blogs, websites unaffiliated with research organizations, and any other non-peer reviewed sources. I would recommend consulting one of our librarians or myself in terms of guidance about the appropriateness of a given source. Additionally, I would strongly recommend using Grammarly or consulting the writing staff from the student learning center to help you proof read the essays before final submission. Please note that plagiarism constitutes academic dishonesty. If plagiarism is detected once then the respective assignment will be given a score of zero. If plagiarism is detected twice then that will result in failure for the course.
