• All essays must be typed, doubled-spaced, using a 12-point font and following MLA style. Discussion Board/Critical Responses: You will complete 13 critical responses (one per week, except for midterm and final exam weeks), each worth 3 points. The questions for discussion are on the syllabus and will be repeated in weekly announcements. Your responses will be posted on Blackboard; the length is at least 300 words. Support your comments with evidence/quotes from the text. You don’t need outside references for these assignments—they are your own interpretations of the readings. The Blackboard posting window will close at 9 a.m.
