SISEA 242 FINAL EXAM

The exam will have three parts.

IDs: The first part will test ID terms. I’ve provided a list of key terms. Three (3) will appear on the test. You must accurately identify each of the three, providing context to show you understand their importance to the themes of the class. In other words, to get full credit, you must (1) accurately ID the term so that I am sure you know what it is; (2) describe its relevance to the themes of the class. It is very probable that one of the ID terms will be from the Mid-Term list and two from the new list. 39 points.

Readings: The second part will ask short questions about the readings. They are designed so that if you have done and understood the readings, they will be easy, but if you have not, they will not be very easy at all. 20 points.

Essay: The essay will be a synthetic essay covering a large or important theme of the class. You will have the opportunity to draw widely from your knowledge to answer the essay. Because of the time pressure, I naturally don’t expect something as well crafted as what you work on at home, but the essay should still aspire to the usual standards of essays. The goal is a well-crafted coherent argument, amply illustrated with examples from the course. 41 points.
