Big picture theme
Write a 400 to 500-word essay reflecting on a “big picture theme” from your reading and viewing in the Learn materials for the first four modules of the course.
Write an essay of 400 to 500 words in response. Your essay must engage and interact with course Learn materials (textbooks and presentations) and document such with appropriate source citations.
[NB: for quizzes, use parenthetical citations rather than footnotes – author’s last name and page number for textbooks and author’s last name and brief title for presentations, along with a “Works Cited” list at the end of your essay.] Identify in your essay which question you are answering. The question and the “Works Cited” list do not figure into the required word count.
Evaluative Criteria:
• Did the essay answer the question or merely talk around it?
• Did the essay engage the course Learn materials?
• Did the essay employ appropriate spelling, grammar, sentence construction, and source citation?
Hence, two things are important:
1. Be sure that you have done all the reading and watched all the course videos for the first four modules.
2. Pay attention to the BIG themes discussed in your reading and presented in the videos. A few big themes keep coming through in the reading and watching; that is what the quiz covers.
Just be sure you’ve done the reading, watched the videos, and have a good grasp of the major themes, and you’ll be fine.
