Assessment

There will be two term papers on assigned topics, of ± 1000 words long. Term papers are to be written following guidelines laid out in MLA Style Center (https://style.mla.org/) Since you have already completed the Academic Writing course, these guidelines are already familiar to you. Further, apply the skills and strategies you are now learning in the Advanced Academic writing course to write your term paper. Term papers should be submitted as a scanned pdf of handwritten papers; no printed papers are required. MLA Style Center guidelines need to be adapted to the handwritten format. Talk to the teacher regarding those adaptations. More details regarding the term papers will be posted during the teaching semester. Plagiarism policies as discussed in the MLA Style Center (as indicated above) will apply on both the term papers. Any plagiarized paper will be evaluated with a zero [0] score.
