Please be advised that how clear, well-written and well-organized your response is will be considered in the assignment of grades. So, make sure to leave some time for proof-reading before you submit your assignment. 

For the sake of saving space, you do not need to treat this assignment as an essay (with an introductory paragraph and a conclusion). If it feels too awkward to you to not have an introductory paragraph, you should limit it to two or three sentences. Concluding paragraphs are unnecessary unless you are making a further point that has not been made in the body of your essay. (In other words, there is no need to sum up what you have already said.)

Your written response should be in your words, rather than the instructor’s words or the words of the author whose ideas you are discussing. If you quote or paraphrase, make sure to put a page number in parentheses and use quotations marks if it is a direct quote.
