Objective: The goal of this assignment is for you to write a 5-page essay supporting an argument which shows your reflection on the themes of the course. You are not expected to write a research paper. You are not discouraged from consulting other sources, and you should cite them if you use them, but there is certainly no requirement to do extra research. You should use and cite the primary sources assigned in class.
The paper should be ~5 pages, double spaced, standard margins (1” top/bottom, 1.25” left/right), 12 point font, Times New Roman. Proper English grammar is expected. NO MLA HEADERS.
