Answer the FOUR following questions
which have been randomly generated from the question pool of the Midterm wiki

Keep in mind that there is more than one approach you can take in answering these questions.

This is an open-book / open-notes exam. You may bring and use your texts, dictionary, thesaurus, a writing handbook, class handouts, notes, outlines, drafts, memos, and a Ouija board. You may also use references and materials from your other classes and the web, with the caveat, of course, that you properly cite any sources you use.

Follow these guidelines:

• Organize your answer before you begin.

• Be sure to state:

1. What or who something is
2. Where it occurred or is located (if appropriate)
3. How it is important
4. When it occurred
5. Why it is important

• State YOUR position or approach clearly.

• Cite specific examples or references to support your statements.

• Mention problem areas or other relevant materials which you would like to consider further in a more thorough statement. That is, when you're finished with your answer, what major questions are still left unanswered?

• Summarize your argument or discussion.

• Wherever appropriate use materials from more than one region of the world.

• Remember that each of your responses should have a beginning, middle, and an end.

Note: Do not discuss any topic at length in more than one question.
 
NOTE: For any, or even all, of the questions you may be asked to include specific materials from the films, slides, and texts. And, generally, you will be asked why you say something. Please keep that in mind when you are preparing for the exam. It is also fine (and sometimes required) that you include your own opinions and experiences in your answers.
