INSTRUCTIONS for Exam 2 (Part II): Essay Question
Exam 2 (Part II): the Essay Question, is worth 30 points (30%) of your Exam score.
You may submit your essay as early as Wednesday, November 1, 7:00pm; however, you must submit by Wednesday, Nov. 8, 4:00pm.
The exam essay should be completed individually (i.e. do not share your answers/responses with you peers until after the exam due date passes & everyone has completed the exam).
You will address the essay question below (the same question I gave you in advance on our Exam 2 Essay Question Study Guide) in about one page (~500 words, typed, word or pdf doc), which you will submit on Canvas, via Turnitin.
You should write an essay with a clear, detailed, and concise argument based on our course material. Support your arguments and the points you make with specific examples and details from our course material.
Do not write an essay that simply strings together a list of loosely-related facts and observations.
Do NOT draw on outside or external sources to construct your essay. Use our course material. If you draw on outside sources to answer the essay question, which is designed to assess your understanding of our class material, you will receive a 0 on the essay.
Use your own words (i.e. do not plagiarize). Note that Turnitin automatically checks for plagiarism (from other student papers and all other internet sources). Do not plagiarize – it is never worth it.
