Please put the question number and a title indicating the topic at the top before you begin your essay. You can give your essay some appropriate, interesting, or indicative title. You do not need to copy the question on to your answer sheet. This is a formal writing assignment. You will be graded for both the content as well as composition of your answer. As such, your essay should be written carefully, argued and developed logically, complete with citations and references. This written assignment is, thus, different from the more informal “blog” like format that you have been following for your responses on the online forums. The strongest answers will be those which draw on information that is available to you in the reading materials for the course, was presented to you in lectures and discussions online in class, and your own reflections on the topic. You may also use other reliable academic/ scholarly publications or authors. (Wikipedia and many other internet websites that are not “refereed” by experts in the field are not considered equivalent to reliable academic sources of information.) Engage with the question asked. Answer all parts of the question. Lay out your answer thoughtfully and carefully as an essay with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. No subtitles are required or necessary for this assignment. Be balanced in your analysis and restrained in the language you use. It is best to avoid sweeping opinions and characterization of people or events. After making a broad or general statement or argument, provide a good example or two to clarify or validate what you mean. When you demonstrate an awareness of specific supporting facts, events or issues to “prove” your point, and/or present a careful discussion of a situation or point’s complexity, it makes make for a stronger answer. This includes the accurate use of words and/or qualifications to the points you are making. In addition to the content of your answer, credit will be given for logical organization, grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. Express yourself in a direct, straightforward fashion. Avoid long sentence constructions. If you are uncertain about a particular spelling, use of commas, apostrophes, possessives and contractions, etc. check it out. Please use the past tense, as much as possible (eg. He killed her. They hated each other, etc.) Employ the future subjunctive only where necessary (eg. He would kill her. They would hate each other). The first is a much more effective, clearer, and a stronger way of communicating what happened. The latter is weaker and often makes one sound like a prophet or soothsayer, predicting what is going to happen. Be sure to express facts and ideas in your own words and language. Unless it is "common knowledge," provide references for specific evidence or ideas acquired from another source: article, 2 book, author, or person. Do not plagiarize--it is a crime to take some one else's ideas and language/ sentences and present them as your own. You will be penalized heavily for that, and may even be failed for the assignment or the course as a whole! Quotes should be used infrequently (for this essay, only one or two short ones per page at the very most, please). I want to see you express yourself using your own words and language, even though it may seem that what you want to say has been expressed better by an author of the article or the book you are referring to. Citations to sources of the information you use, or references to other works can be given in either of the two styles below on this assignment sheet. The UC Berkeley Library handout on "Turabian and Chicago Style Citations" will also be helpful to you in trying to figure out the right way to cite material in your essay. There is a link to the “UW-Madison’s Writer’s Handbook” at the top of the course website, if you want to browse through that. Remember to number the pages of your essay. After completing your essay, carefully read over what you have written. Leave yourself enough time to revise and proof-read your essay carefully to check for any typos or other errors before handing it in. Make any revisions, corrections and changes that may be needed. Submit the final version of your essay to the Turnitin link given on iLearn for the exam. Examples of the correct way to cite sources Either of the styles given below will be acceptable. Whichever style you choose, apply it consistently. Please note the relevant information that is provided and the manner in which the citation is punctuated for each style. For further information, please consult the following document on the iLearn website “Turabian and Chicago Styles Citations.” Style 1 An in-text citation style would look like this: ...a nation has also been conceived of as necessarily consisting of several criteria: a stable community of people who have a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up (Taras and Ganguly 1998, 18-21). or: ...a nation has also been conceived of as necessarily consisting of several criteria: a stable community of people who have a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up (Stalin cited in Hutchinson and Smith 1994, 18-21). or: According to Professor Shastri, it is important to distinguish between civic nationalism and ethno- nationalism (Lecture, 26 April 2020). 3 Provide the full reference for the source cited in a section titled REFERENCES at the end of your essay. In this case the full references will be laid out alphabetically thus: Connor, Walker. 1984. "Eco- or Ethno-Nationalism?" Ethnic and Racial Studies 7 (3): 342-59. Shastri, Amita. 2020.
