A wordcount should appear on the front page of your paper. It should fulfill the requirements of an argumentative paper.

To see what I expect from your paper, you can also consult my grading guide and the grading sheet (link on main course web page) . - THE PROSPECTUS IS DUE BY EMAIL ON 2/23 by midnight: a prospectus contains: a tentative title + a thesis statement + one paragraph giving your main arguments OR an outline. If you don't turn in your prospectus, your final grade will be lowered by one letter grade. - THE PEER REVIEW TAKES PLACE ON 3/3. If you don't come to the peer review with a complete draft of your paper, your final grade will be lowered by one letter grade. - THE FINAL VERSION OF THE PAPER IS DUE ON 3/10.
