How will the essays be graded?
Your graders will be looking for three things:
Does the essay present an argument that answers the question chosen by the student?
Are there references to the book and lectures to support the essay’s argument?
Is the text well-structured and in compliance with formatting requirements?
If your essay satisfies the three criteria above, you will do well regardless of which specific argument you use. Any citation of the course material that serves to support an argument that answers your question will be accepted as a valid source.
