Please submit your final papers below as a .doc or .pdf file. The goal is to hit 18-20 pages, plus a bibliography.
Regarding the self-evaluation, this is a one page, single-spaced assignment. You will submit the evaluation alongside your final paper (it should be in the same document, please). Here, you will assign yourself a grade and justify it.
-Honestly evaluate your effort in the course (reading, attendance, participation, final paper assignment).
-Evaluate your growth as a novice scholar. How did the experience fit into your overall aspirations and how can you build from these skills for what you hope to achieve inside and outside of academia?
-Evaluate your final essay itself. How did you approach the assignment? Do you think you came across any novel findings? How did you demonstrate growth as a writer?
