• ▪ The assignment should be typed, written in full sentences, with correct grammar and spelling.
• ▪There is no set word-count or page-count for this assignment. I estimate the average paper will be approximately 500 words (about one full page single-spaced, or two pages double-spaced). The content of the paper is more important than length.
