Instructions
– Begin with a very clear thesis statement that directly responds to the question – Use specific evidence and examples to support your answer
– Keep your answer concise and to the point
It should take several paragraphs to answer the midterm exam question fully and sufficiently, but your response should not exceed four double-spaced pages. Your answers should draw from the required readings, videos, lectures, and class and tutorial discussions.
You are welcome to draw on external sources but this is not a requirement. If you draw on outside sources, make sure to cite them. It does not matter which citational style you use (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago/Turabian). What matters is consistency, i.e., when you choose a citational style, you must stick to it throughout your essay.
