Use the material provided and nothing else.\n\nThe answers are in the textbook, lesson lectures, and the provided documents. You do not need to access outside material at all. If you use material word-for-word from the textbook or documents, make sure to put them in quotes and give a small notation where you got the information. Otherwise, your refusal to cite material will be considered plagiarism and a basis for getting a zero on the assignment; furthermore, students who plagiarize are reported to the TCC administration.\n\n2. Observe the maximum word count.\n\nYou must keep your answer to the maximum word count or points will be deducted from your assignment. Part of good writing is being able to be concise. You can answer these essays in under 750 words. There is no minimum word count for essays. You do not need an introduction or concluding paragraph. You can introduce and conclude in a sentence or two. Be clear and specific in your writing.\n\n3. Write from the general to the specific.\n\nWhen writing a good essay, you should present your argument in broad terms and then spend your essay defending your position with specific points. These points should be drawn from the textbook and the lecture notes. Make sure not to ramble. You should have a focused essay.\n\n4. Observe the rules for proper spelling and grammar.\n\nPoints are deducted for poor spelling and grammar. The spell check feature is not a fool-proof method for ensuring good spelling and grammar.\n\n5. Quote sparingly.\n <\/pre>\nUsing quotes from documents and the textbook is fine. However, you should only use it to support your argument. Quotes should not be used for more than a couple of sentences and should never serve as a complete answer. You should use your own words for the bulk of the essay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Using the notes you took from the Lesson 2 Lecture Video and your careful reading of the recommended passages in Chapter 20 of your textbook and the provided documents, answer the following essay question: Using the material provided, discuss America’s move toward imperialism.
