Instructions
The essay is due on February 17 at 9:00 am. Students should upload submissions to Canvas. Submissions should be saved in a PDF format titled [Student Last Name, First Name (Essay #1)].
The short essay assignment is designed to encourage students to think critically about the topics raised in the readings and lectures. As such, the essay should not be solely descriptive in nature. A quality essay will use descriptive analysis to illustrate broader concepts underlying the relevant course material. Consequently, students should think carefully about the issues raised by each question in the prompt below. Students must also provide their own professional analysis in the essay. Simple repetition of the readings and/or lectures is insufficient. Brevity and critical thinking are essential.
