2. Examine the view of human life indicated by Hinduism’s four goals and four stages of life.
Begin each writing assignment by identifying the question number you are answering followed by
the actual question itself (in bold type).
• Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions (i.e., an introduction, middle
paragraphs and conclusion).
• Responses must be typed double-spaced, using a standard font (i.e. Times New Roman) and 12
point type size.
Word count is NOT one of the criteria that is used in assigning points to writing assignments. However,
students who are successful in earning the maximum number of points tend to submit writing assignments
that fall in the following ranges:
Undergraduate courses: 350 – 500 words or 1 – 2 pages.

Citation Styles
The majority of your response should be your own original writing
based on what you have learned from the textbook. However, students
may also use outside materials if applicable. Be sure to provide a
citation and a reference for any materials used, including the
required textbook. The following points are designed to help you
understand how to provide proper citations and references for your
work:
• Sources are listed in two places.
• The first, a citation, is briefly listed within your answer. This
includes identifying information that directs the reader to
your list of references at the end of your writing
assignment.
• The second, a reference, is at the end of your work in the list
of references section.
• All sources cited should follow APA style and provide enough
identifying information so that the reader can access the
original material.
