Description
In this essay, write a minimum of 800 words responding to the following question: “From your learning thus far, how does the U.S. legal system seem to understand, define, or frame disability, and disability rights?”. Your response should incorporate and cite a minimum of three of the reserve readings from 1/16-1/25 (i.e. The UN CRPD, City of Cleburne, Texas v. Cleburne Living Center, Russell, and the Unruh Civil Rights Act of California)
Formatting, Citations and Submission:
For written assignments, please use double-spacing, 12-point font, and insert page numbers. When citing materials, you may use any academic citation style (e.g. APA, MLA, ASA), as long as you use it consistently, and cite all materials you use. You may either use in-text citation with a bibliography, or you may use footnotes or endnotes instead. Uploads may be in PDF or Word only. Bruin Learn will not open documents uploaded in Pages, or other alternate word processing software.
Grammar and writing skill are not part of the grading criterion, although proofreading is strongly recommended.
There is no grade penalty for exceeding the minimum word count, but there is a grade penalty for writing less than the minimum specified in the assignment.
For all assignments, there are no hidden or unstated requirements. There are no expectations regarding style or formatting beyond those explicitly indicated in the syllabus and/or Bruin Learn. If the assignment instructions do not indicate that you have to follow a particular essay format or writing style, then you do not need to. Please review the instructions carefully.
