  Essay Basics (1)
• 900-1100 words in length.

grade. For example, if the minimum required word length is 1000 words, but you only
write 850 words, your highest possible essay grade would be 85%.
• Only your introduction paragraph, main body paragraphs, and conclusion paragraph
count toward the word count.

• Peer-reviewed journal articles are those that are reviewed by multiple experts from
their related field(s) and then published in academic journals.
• You can use any database to find articles (e.g., KC Library Database, Google
Scholar).
• No more than 2 quotes allowed; no longer than 40 words each.
