Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual Projects) will be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus.

Finally, write one paragraph for each source describing the source, how it relates to your topic, and how it will help you write your paper. Your Individual Project should contain the following:
