The final exam will have two parts: a cumulative questions that everyone answers, and a more topical Part B that everyone will answer TWO questions from. For history majors looking ahead to Senior Comps, I always ask the question from Part A, so putting some good thought into this answer will benefit you in the future.
An adequate answer for these questions should be a minimum of 4-5 pages. Since you have nearly four weeks to think of these questions, and I am placing them on a blog where you can discuss them, I am expecting each of you to push yourselves beyond the mediocre.
All materials must be turned in as hardcopies. I will not accept email attachments.
So am i correct in thinking that we have THREE 4-5 page papers to do for this final? Or is it still TWO, like the midterm?
ReplyDeleteHi Katherine,
ReplyDeleteIn light of the research paper deadline I think I will make it just TWO questions. I will also remove the PART A/B requirement so everyone may answer any two out of the four questions. I will remind history majors that Part A is the question I always ask for Senior Comps, so those taking the comps in the future might want to consider this an opportunity for a practice run.
