The Final Examination You will take a proctored examination, for which you will be allowed two hours, without the use of books or notes. The exam will be in two parts, one objective and one essay. For Part One, the objective section, you will be asked to briefly and factually define, identify by author, or describe 20 of 25 names or terms as accurately as you can. For Part Two, the essays, I will give you a degree of choice, but you will have to write on some aspect of the history of the hero for our 200 years and probably put him in relation to the rising importance and influence of the bourgeois reader. Grading Criteria For a good grade on both papers and exam, clarity and a strong range of reference are the prime requisites.
Factual accuracy is important as well.
