Performance is based on a midterm examination (35% of grade) and a final examination (65%). The midterm exam is an essay question and covers material through Feb 12. The final exam is in three parts:
Part
I Short-answer identification. Identify
and discuss the significance of 8 IDs. The IDs can be terms, concepts or events
and you will have a list of 16 from which to choose.
All possible IDs are included on a study guide distributed two to three
weeks before the exam.
Part
II
Essay from the second half of the
course (material covered since the midterm exam).
Part III Essay encompassing the whole course.
Parts
II and III require you to draw upon the readings and lectures to reach
conclusions; readings and lecture materials are mandatory.
Note: Be sure you can attend both exams before you commit to the course because there are no make-up exams.
