There will be four exams with objective, short essay answer, and one lengthy essay question on the final exam. The exams will not be comprehensive. Each exam is worth 100 points. The paper should be 4 to 6 typed or word processed pages, with appropriate citations and bibliography. A minimum of three sources beyond your text book are required, and only one of them may be a signed article from the internet.
Some examples are below.
There are Liberal Arts Tutors available in the LRC who are eager to help you study for exams, write the paper, or improve your note taking. They can tutor you via email. There are no make-up exams as one exam score will be dropped. The course grade is the average of the research paper, plus the exam scores. If students have taken all 4 exams, the lowest of the first three scores will be dropped.
