Your answers to all the questions above may not exceed a total of 6 pages (double spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins).
All references to authors’ claims must be accompanied by citation. The requirement for citation is not limited to direct quotations – you must provide citation every time you refer to any idea, claim or argument forward by the authors (even when it is presented in your own words). This means that there should be extensive citation throughout the assignment. Use parenthetical citation – providing the relevant page number in parentheses at the end of each sentence being cited, for example (159). Use original text page numbers as shown in the course readings.
