C2. Length. For a minimum passing grade (C or below), minimum 800 words of meaningful and
focused text are required. Double or triple the minimum length to be considered for B or A
accordingly. The chapters we discuss are quite long, and thus much longer and detailed papers are
sought for better grades. Always have in mind that is both the quantity (amount of effort), as well
as the quality (depth) of your writing that will produce the sought outcome.
C3. Assessment. It is paramount that your essays are clear, detailed, and written with care. After
I read each set of papers, I will be discussing the results with you in class and soliciting your
feedback about the issues you faced. I will be also providing feedback and guidance both for the
entire class, as well as individually to all students who have submitted a paper. Your essays will
be evaluated and graded based on a. the clarity/quality of your understanding of the issues raised
in the text as those relate to the real-life story you are examining, b. the quality of your reflections
on those issues, and c. the amount of effort invested. You should not invest minimum effort and
expect maximum reward, and at the same time, you should not go only for quantity (length)
without quality (depth).
