Activity 2: Analyzing Format in Context

Find a student essay online and critique its form. Does its form mesh with the guidelines above and with those in your text? If not, do you think the differences are enough to result in a lower grade than the student might have been given? How important do you think it is to follow your instructor's guidelines carefully?
