Short Essay

Your short essay should be approximately one page long. When including citation to our

text, a single page citation would look like (Getlein, 2016, p. 50) and a citation to content that

covers more than one page looks like (Getlein, 2016, pp. 122-123) and depending on the pages

cited. Citations to our text book should include page numbers for specificity. Be aware that the

spacing and punctuation of the in-text citations are part of the APA formatting.

Your writing should be double spaced and the beginning of each paragraph should be

indented half an inch. Do not copy in the original question as part of your answer, but be sure

that your reader is clear on what question you are addressing in how you compose your ideas.

Your reader should be able to fully understand the question you are addressing by how you

phrase your response.

Be sure to cite and analyze substantive information from our text in all of your

paragraphs to support your ideas. Additionally, you can include other academic sources (such as

the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Times, the Khan Academy, etc.) to support your

ideas. If you are unsure whether your source is strong according to academic standards, you

should apply the CARRDS method to evaluate it. The Baker Library has information on the

CARRDSS method which assesses the credibility, accuracy, reliability, relevance, date, sources,

and scope of your source (Baker College, 2015) and the library provides a helpful explanation of

each of these traits. A link is provided to the CARRDSS source in the reference list.

Be sure to provide an introduction at the beginning of your short essay and conclusion at

the end.
