The final exam will consist of four essay questions. Each question should be answered with a long essay. The long essay would be a traditional essay typically five paragraphs long. The first paragraph should introduce the topic and state the student’s position / answer to the question. It should contain between four-five (4-5) complete sentences, including the thesis statement for the essay. The second, third, and fourth paragraphs are the body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should contain between four-five (4-5) sentences, including the topic sentence (first sentence of the body paragraph, states a main point that supports the thesis) and at least two-three (2-3) specific examples per main point. The fifth and final paragraph should begin with a restatement of the thesis. It should be four-five (4-5) complete sentences, and include a brief summary/conclusion of the student’s answer to the essay question. It is essential, particularly in the survey courses, for students to provide cites and footnotes for their work in untimed exams. Citations must adhere to the APA, Chicago/Turabian or MLA Style format but perfection is not expected.
