Instructions:
1. Develop a Clear and Concise Thesis Statement: Your thesis statement should clearly state the main argument or point of your essay. It should be specific and focused, guiding the reader through the rest of your paper. Make sure to include your thesis statement in the introduction of your essay.
2. Analyze, Don't Simply State Your Opinion: Your essay should be analytical rather than opinion based. This means that you should critically evaluate the arguments, evidence, and assumptions in the readings or topics you are discussing, rather than just stating your personal views or opinions.
3. Focus on Content, Not Style: When analyzing readings, pay attention to the ideas, quality of the arguments, evidence, assumptions, and robustness of the content. Avoid focusing on the clarity, style, organization, or format of the readings.
4. Use Evidence and Examples: Support your analysis with evidence and examples from the readings, class discussions, and lectures. This will help you make a stronger case for your argument and demonstrate your understanding of the course material.
5. Organize Your Essay Effectively: Ensure that your essay has a clear structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion. Use paragraphs to break up your ideas and make your essay easier to read. Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that outlines the main point of the paragraph.
6. Cite Your Sources: Always cite your sources using the appropriate citation style for this course. This includes both in-text citations and a bibliography or works cited page at the end of your essay
