Instructions: There are no formal page requirements. , I would expect to see, on average, at least XXXXXXXXXXwords for each numbered answer (a minimum of about a page, single spaced, two pages, double spaced) not including the problem statement or references). However, for some questions more may be required. On the other hand, be concise so do not incorporate irrelevant material into the essays unless builds arguments. Develop the depth of critical thinking and support answers with reasons and evidence. The use of appropriate citations to support points with matching references in APA format will increase your score. Remember to list a reference; it must be used in the text as a citation. In other words, build logical arguments in answers which are well organized and structured to fully answer questions
