The last two are in-class bluebook exams. The exams will ask you to synthesize the information you will have learned from lectures and the assigned reading material. They will consist of short identification questions and longer essay questions. You will be graded on the clarity of your writing as well as the accuracy of historical facts you mention. If you attend class sporadically, you will receive the lower grade.
All students are responsible for doing their own work.
Cheating on in-class exams will result in a failing grade. While you may cite other published works, this must be done very carefully. Plagiarism is the use of other people's works without proper citation. This means you may not copy text from websites, books, or any other source without adding a properly-formatted and accurate footnote or endnote to your document. The difference between honest citation and plagiarism is a failing grade.
