Final Essay Revision URGENT

I had three people that didn't show up.  You missed some important information regarding your final essay.  If you did not attend class, realize that you don't have a grade for your final essay.

• Many of you were either misinformed or under a misunderstanding on how to do your final essay
• Many of you only wrote three pages worth of research
• You needed to combine both essays so that it was unified, included your intro, thesis, topics, and academic information 
• I needed 8 full pages, 12 pt font, APA style, References page
• You were to do an expanded version of your compare and contrast essay
• If you did not attend, you need to get a hold of a peer so that they can explain to you in detail what I am looking for

I will be providing extra time:
