When writing your essay, keep in mind:
- Essays are judged on creativity, quality, organization, clarity, and familiarity with the issue;
- Do not plagiarize. If you quote from a source, cite the source (either in a bibliography or footnote);
- As you write your essay, show us your understanding of the essay prompt;
- Remember: this is not a term paper—your creativity counts, and
- Re-read your essay to see if every sentence adds strength to your essay.
