There is no final examination. The purpose of the paper is a deeper exploration of one of your questions from an area covered in the syllabus. You may also write on an author or theme you did not choose for the shorter paper. In all cases, topics must be approved. If you want help with a draft, you must make an appointment the first week after Thanksgiving.
Papers are due the day of the scheduled exam.
