The date and time of the examination may not be changed. The examination will include all material covered throughout the semester. This includes but is not limited to Wang and Chang, current news, and lectures. The research paper must deal with a topic closely complementary to one of the countries covered, or, by special arrangement, from the Middle East. You should choose a topic that can be covered in about ten pages.
Proper form is essential.
Aaron, Essential Handbook for Writers is recommended. Other sources such as Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations, and Kavelege and Segal, Research Guide in Political Science may also be used as a guide to proper form. Any standard form, such as the MLA, is also acceptable. We will discuss this further in class.
