Thoroughly express all concepts and claims, asking yourself for each one, have you thoroughly defended the claim or have you just stated it.

Be sure that your argument is informed by and connected to this module’s readings in the class text. Write clearly and convincingly. Be sure to write in your own words and cite any material that is not your own.
