These are comprehensive questions. A response should take at least 2-3 paragraphs per question (this is a minimum expectation). However, this is a minimum, and you will more than likely need to write more than 3 paragraphs to fully answer a question.
Your response must be written in Microsoft Word, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font, black font, and in APA format. The use of APA format is judged on relevance, not citation, for citation’s sake. Edit your work before submitting it.
You are required to use proper APA 7th edition citations (both references and in-text) to support your answers. There are no set minimum/maximum sources that you need to use. You will be assessed by the quality of the source, citing when needed, and how well you integrate information into your answer.
Keep in mind the maximum 15% similarity score for your submission. This excludes the reference section and title page but includes all direct quotes and paraphrased material.

Grading Rubric
25-22.5 points on a question: Main ideas are clear and well supported by detailed and accurate information (in-depth discussion, in several sentences or ideas, are presented). Information is relevant and presented in logical order and there is no doubt the student learned the material. There is very strong evidence the student knows that material. Most or all the paragraphs are in the appropriate length (5-10 sentences). Most or all the sentences are well constructed and have isolated errors in grammar, mechanics, and/or spelling. The answer is clear and there is very strong evidence the student studied and knows the material and can use the information learned. Consistent use of appropriate, legal, and relevant sources, both internal and external, of the class. Answers adhere to the assignment instructions, including the number of paragraphs per question, format expectations, and APA format.
22.49-20 points on a question: Main ideas are clear but are not well supported by detailed information (in-depth discussion is lacking). The answer to the question is there but not very clear, but there is strong evidence the student knows the answer. The knowledge of the answer (topic) is evident and demonstrated in several instances, but it is too general. Most sentences are well constructed. Most paragraphs are in the appropriate length (5-10 sentences). Writing has a few errors in grammar, mechanics, and/or spelling, but they do not interfere with understanding. The answer is clear but general, and there is strong evidence and demonstration that the student studied and knows the material. Consistent use of appropriate, legal, and relevant sources, both internal and external, of the class. Answers adhere to the assignment instructions, including the number of paragraphs per question, format expectations, and APA format.
19.99-17.5 points on a question: Main ideas are somewhat clear. The answer is not clearly stated. The answer is weak and general; the answer is there, but the discussion lacks depth. Knowledge of the answer is limited. A few to most sentences are well constructed but lack depth and detail. Several paragraphs are in the appropriate length (5-10 sentences). Writing has several errors in grammar, mechanics, and/or spelling that do not necessarily interfere with understanding. The answer is somewhat clear, and there is some evidence that the student studied the material. Inconsistent use of sources that may be irrelevant to the answer. Answers do not completely adhere to the assignment instructions, including the number of paragraphs per question, format expectations, and APA format.
