The following requirements to receive a top passing score are:
• Fulfill the first three requirements for a passing paper.
• Begin your essay with a thesis sentence - take a position in the answer that you have provided. Mere summary is not enough.
• The essay must in some way RESPOND DIRECTLY to some aspect of lesson/lecture, drawing connections beyond the textbook content.
• The essay must have citations. These citations tell me on which page you gained your insight to your answer/thesis to your essay. (This used to be a requirement for a passing paper but for most students this is too much to ask.)
