For essays, be as thorough as you can. Each answer should be at least 15 sentences. But try to be precise and structured. Also, use original examples (not ones from class). You are free to answer the questions in as much room as youd like (over the 15 sentence minimum). The most important thing is that you show me mastery of content.

You will be graded on these essays in terms of: a) originality; b) the amount of thorough reasoning that you use; c) structure; d) examples; e) citations. Remember, whenever you make any kind of point always be as thorough as possible, argue rather than state, and illustrate it using an example.
