Instructions

This is an essay exam. Students are expected to write in clear and concise sentences. Answers should reflect engagement both with the readings and course material. Make sure to fully answer each question and to proofread your answers before you turn them in, and to look for any spelling or grammatical mistakes.

You do not need to use any sources other than your textbook and the course material to complete this assignment. If you use sources other than your textbook or the course material (for example, websites or articles), you need to include a complete list of sources at the end of your paper. When quoting from the course textbook make sure to specify the page number where the quotation can be found. A simple reference at the end of the quotation will suffice, such as: (p. 42) or (42). All quotations from course or secondary material should be clearly indicated with quotation marks and properly cited. You should try as much as possible to use your own words and not rely too heavily on quotations from the textbook or the lecture material. A few short quotations per answer are acceptable. But the focus should be on explaining the concepts in your own words. Each of your answers should be roughly half-a-page to a page in length (single-spaced), or 350-700 words each (1050-2100 words total), but feel free to write more if necessary. If you have any questions about the exam feel free to email me.
