The Assignment

Submit a 5 full page (minimum) and/or 1700-word (minimum) Analysis Essay as a document attachment here. Please make sure you’ve read the full assignment description in the unit to make sure you understand what the focus of this essay should be and that you’re following those guidelines before you submit your final work here.

Writing Guidelines

  • Write only in the present tense, even when speaking of a text that has been written in the past: write “the author says,” NOT “the author said”
  • Write only in the 3rd person (use: he, she, it, they, the authors, the reader, etc.). DO NOT use me, I, you, or your anywhere in your essay – submissions that do not follow this rule will be returned ungraded and marked down a full letter grade
  • Use lots of textual evidence to support your discussion – body paragraphs that do not offer direct or paraphrased textual support will not be credited toward your required essay page total
  • Cite your textual references with a page number in parentheses after the quotation. Use the Source Integration sheet to help you do that correctly. You must have at least ONE parenthetically cited textual reference, either a direct quote or a paraphrase, in every body paragraph after your introduction.
  • Fully introduce and describe the work you’re analyzing before you begin your analysis
  • Be specific in your argumentation: Develop a sound main argument in your first paragraph that revolves around a single set of points you wish to make about the argument structure in the work you’re examining
  • Develop your body paragraphs around argument, NOT summary. Lay out a subjective position about how and how well the writing or argument works at the top of your paragraph, then introduce and insert direct, page cited textual evidence to support and illustrate your position, then explain your position by developing your critique further in the last third of your paragraph before transitioning us to the next phase of your discussion in succeeding paragraphs. Follow that rhetorical model in all of your body paragraph work. Analyze, don’t summarize.

Length and Document Requirements

Your draft must be a FULL 5 pages (top to bottom excluding name/date/assignment information atop the first page) and/or 1700 words. Please use 12 pt double spaced text with 1 1/4 inch margins on all four sides. Insert page numbers in the bottom right corner of each page using the auto page numbering tool in your word processing application. These minimum standards along with the additional guidelines listed above and below must be followed in order for your work to be accepted for evaluation, as I do not give partial credit for partial work.

The only file types that will be accepted for evaluation are DOC or DOCX. All other file types (including RTF, PDF, WPS, TXT, Pages, GoogleDocs, etc.)cannot be read or graded by me and will be deleted from the system and your work marked as late.

Please see these Document Preparation Guidelines from the Resource Center for additional instructions on how to properly format and prepare your essay work prior to submission.

Proofreading

Poorly proofread, incorrectly formatted, off topic, short or otherwise incomplete essays will be returned ungraded and assessed a late penalty for not being complete by the original assignment deadline. For proofreading support, please use this Proofreading Strategies sheet along with this Common Error Patternsprimer and this Writing Support Links sheet, all from the Resource Center, to help you. I’m looking for correctly formatted error free work for this assignment.

File Naming

Incorrectly named files won’t receive credit, so please name them thusly:

(YOUR last name only) + (a shortened version of the assignment name), like this: SmithAnalysis.docx

Remember not to type in “doc” or “docx” manually, as your word processing application will automatically append that file type designator to your title when you save the file. Only .doc or .docx files will be accepted – please do not attach any other file types (PDF, RTF, WPS, TXT, Pages, GoogleDocs etc.), as I will not be able to read or assign credit to them.
