Question.3009 - For this assignment you will choose three topics – one from the Judaism topic list and one from the Christianity topic list and one from the Islam topic list below. Your responses must be typed in essay format – that is, no lists, outlines, bullets. Your responses to each topic should be about 250-350 words in length. You should not need to go over this length. In addition to the topic list, there is an extra credit question at the end. Your responses should be typed in Times New Roman 12 font and single spaced. You do not need a title page. Grammar and mechanics will be part of the final grade consideration. As you will be citing material from the text (do not use outside sources) or from lecture you do not need a works cited page but you do need to use in text citations for quotations. Quotations need to be clearly indicated as such. While quotes are good here and there the bulk of your answers must be your own wording. Retyping the wording from the text is plagiarism and zero credit will be given for the exam as a whole. Assignment due by Tuesday, July 23 by 10:00 pm.
