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

This is an open-book 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:

• • State YOUR position or approach clearly
    
    

• • Cite specific examples or references to support your statements. Be sure to include examples from the class materials
    
    

• • 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
    
    

• • How long should the answers be?
