INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN CLASS:
For this exam, you are required to write essay answers to questions below. Your answers must be a minimum of 675 words each. Answers will be graded according to four criteria:

The degree to which they show understanding of the ideas and content presented in class readings, lectures, and films/videos.
The quality of the logical reasoning in your argument
How well you use the material from lectures, readings and film/video from the class to support your argument (draw from at least 4 examples from different class sources for each question – this must include drawing from at least (preferably more) two journal articles for each question)
The quality of your essay writing.

Because this is a take home exam, I expect your answer to be a well written, edited essay with a clear short introduction, focused discussion points and a succinct conclusion that reiterates your points. I suggest you outline 3 points that you can link in a logical argument that addresses the question. Avoid overly grandiose statements or personalized statements as they always detract from having a short focused essay. Avoid writing ‘I think’ as this is inherent in that you are the one writing. The discussion is the most important part of your essay.

The final exam is a take-home, open-book, open-notes exam, but you must do it on your own, without discussion with other students. Cite examples you use from readings and films/videos, but you do not need to cite information from lectures/discussions.
