You will have full access to your notes and the posted videos so my expectation is that you will be able to come up with detailed, thoughtful answers. Remember that the key to success on these questions is your ability to analyze the information and present that analysis in your response. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
Important Notes:
• Make sure to follow the format and get the minimum length. That is the easiest way to get 25% of the points for the exam. A template in the form of a Word Document will be provided in the exam portal. Use it to help you get this right.
• Do not save each question as a different file. Use the page break to separate the questions on their own individual page and submit only one file. The template already has this set up.
• Your best sources are the lectures and your textbook, but you may use other sources to help you formulate your answers, but DO NOT copy and paste from websites as part of your answers. The only time something should be word for word in an answer is if you are directly quoting a historical figure relevant to the question. The answers need to be in your OWN WORDS.
