How long should the writing sample be?

That really depends on the job, and what kinds of writing will help you make your case that you're the right person to hire.

I'm sorry I can't be any more precise than that, but I do have office hours tomorrow and I'd be happy to answer specific questions over e-mail.

Are we supposed to use the same job ad we used in Exercise 2-1a? Are we allowed to?

You are welcome to choose a different job ad if you've found a better one, but it's not necessary to get a different one. I assumed that most people would just use the same job ad. Including it in this submission will just help me do a better job evaluating the appropriateness of your application materials. But you're welcome to replace that job ad with a newer one if you think it would be more useful to you.

For Ex 2-1a, we didn't need to include the URL. I tried to find the ad again so that I could copy and paste the URL in this exercise, but I can't find it. I think the ad may have been taken down. Do I need to find a new job ad so that I can include the URL, or can I just leave it as is?

Since the assignment is due tomorrow, I'll let you continue with what you've got. You do still have the text of the ad, right? I should be able to give you some useful feedback based on that.

Yes, I do still have the text of the ad. Thank you.
