Description
This paper has a word target for both parts of the assessment: every word over or under the target is penalized by taking 5 points off of the total grade (i.e., half a letter grade per word). For the précis portion, the target is 850-900 words. For the evaluation portion, the target is 250-300 words. For your choice of Subject Essay, you may pick any reading from the “List of Subject Essays,” or any other suitable reading from the course. A paper will be more impressive if it tackles a more challenging article as its Subject Essay.
