The examination requires you to write an essay of between 600-800 words, in the basic essay form detailed in class, on your choice from two available topics.
The essay will be judged on the following criteria:
- exclusive fidelity to lecture concepts and discussion.
- irrefutable evidence that the course texts were read diligently and ahead of lecture, and that the lecture material was attentively engaged with.
- proper grammar
- proper basic essay form, from lecture.
- clear, succinct, and unique statement of thesis.
- consistent rhetorical arrangement.
- correct and coherent logical development.
- quotations from the course texts: advised but not required.
- quotations will not need formal citation; however the Instructor will verify them for exactitude.
The essay will be graded on the assumption that it was written in a maximum window of two-hours (ninety minutes to write outline and draft the essay, and thirty minutes to revise.) This is your precise benchmark for the level of quality that your Mid-Term essay should meet.
Course texts, online lecture slides and, most importantly, your own notes from classroom lecture can be used in the Mid-Term. On the honour system, no consultation or contact with anyone else is permitted during the stay-at-home Examination. Your work must be entirely your own; independently done.
The two choices of Examination topic will be released here on the Course Website at 15:00, July 2nd 2013.
