Mid-term paper

The mid-term essay (ca. 500 words) is based on the assigned readings. In the paper, you should not provide a mere summary of the readings’ contents but is expected to write an analytical paper that has a thesis and a point, compares and contrasts different approaches in an intelligible manner, and offers the student’s personal opinion regarding the works compared.  It is expected that the student also use the Chicago Manual of Style rules for citing authors in proper footnotes.  For your convenience, here is a quick on-line reference to writing proper footnotes:
