The writing assignment based on that reading is due by the beginning of class next Monday, September 6th, as stated on our RFT syllabus. Post it in .pdf format only to the assignment link on our RFT moodle page by the start of class next Monday.
Below is the short essay assignment. It must be 3 to 5 double spaced pages in size 12 Times Roman font. Please cite your references by simply referring to the author and year of publication of the text you are quoting or paraphrasing. For example, if you use a general idea from Bloom, write at the end of the sentence in parentheses: (Bloom, 1987). If you are paraphrasing an idea from a specific page of an author, write at the end of the sentence in parentheses the author, year of publication, and page you are citing: (Bloom, 1987, p. 80). If you use a direct quote from an author, put the quote in quotation marks, and cite the author, year of publication and page number of the quote: (Bloom, 1987, p. 100).

Answer the following essay question:
Newman, Edmundson, and Bloom strongly believe in the value of a liberal arts education.
Briefly summarize each of their arguments for the value of a liberal arts education.
According to each author, what value does it—or at least should it—provide, and to whom?
What might interfere with learning a liberal arts education?
Do you agree? Why? Do you disagree? Why? Draw upon these three scholars in developing
your argument.
Include a clear beginning statement summing up your main point, a middle section
developing your point with detail and citations from these three authors, and a concluding paragraph summing up your argument and making a broad concluding statement.
