Length: Minimum 500 words; no maximum.

Due Date:

December 10, 2007 (Monday)

Do not fail to attend class on December 10. I would rather have the essay late rather than have you cut class so that you do not have to hand it in.

If you want, you can hand in a preliminary version of your essay on or before November 30 (Friday).

In this case I will provide you with feedback for preparing the final version which would be due December 10.
