These essays are due at the beginning of class. If you do not have it ready, you will be given a 24 hour extension, but you can only get a maximum of 60%. I will score your essay as regular and then multiply it by .6. So I strongly suggest you get it in on time. This is a 75 point test, 50 points multiple choice, 25 points is the take home essay.
The citations need to be done in MLA format.
