Your essay must be between 800 and 1200 words long (in Microsoft Word, under tools you can find word count.) If you cite sources try to use APA style, but because youre basically pasting your text into cuLearn, dont worry too much about formatting–but the citations and references are included in your word count.
and one idea from the lectures to write your essay. You can actually use the terms base example and target example if you wish; in fact, I encourage this. It makes it easier as a TA grading your papers to see that you actually understand what it is you are trying to convey in your paper. It is important that you also clearly emphasize what it is that is not particularly clear about your target example, and how you are going to use the information provided by the base concept to fill this knowledge gap.
