Midterm
Exam (2 hours, in class) There will be three
essay-type questions that ask you to draw upon your reading
of the course materials up to and including An Inspector
Calls, class discussions, and any other relevant
thinking and exploring you have done this first half of the
semester. One essay will involve reading a passage from
Priestley's play and analyzing it. Read instructions
carefully and follow them. Decide which works you can write
well on for which topic, and pace
yourself. It is helpful to take a few
minutes to plan an outline before writing your essays.
Formulate a thoughtful idea or argument in your response
that allows you to address effectively the requirements of
the prompt. Cite specific acts,
scenes, lines, or words in support of your analysis to build
your case. For each prompt, you do
not need to answer every single question in the cluster in
order and separately. Rather, your writing should be
designed as a coherent unified piece, not unconnected
answers to different questions strung together. The multiple
questions are there to help you brainstorm on the topic and
to spark critical engagement with it. You will want to show
us your critical and analytical skills: demonstrate that you
have read closely and understood the material, that you can
critically engage with that material, with discussion in and
outside of class, and with the test question, that you can
synthesize material and knowledge gained, and that you can
write clear, effective, and compelling prose. Give your
essays a title if you like.

Week 20 |
Mar. 4 |
Final Exam (8:30-11:30 a.m.) The final covers material from the second half of the semester (from "The Things They Carried" to Waiting for the Barbarians). There will be two parts: identification and essay. Read instructions carefully and follow them. For identification, you will be given excerpts (words, phrases, passages) from the literary works we have read. You should be able to identify the title and author of the work as well as (if applicable) speaker, location within larger work (ex. the opening chapter; the very last line of the inspector in the play, in act 3), and any other relevant context (such as what or who is the quote about, what is going on). Then you will be asked to write a couple of sentences on the significance of the quotation. For part 2, you will be given three prompts to write three essays. Here is where you have the best opportunity to show not only information recall, but also thinking skills--your ability to reason, create, apply, analyze and synthesize. The prompt may consist of several questions but what the entire prompt does is give you a topic with a scope. You should formulate an argument/thesis in response to that topic within that scope and structure your essay around your argument, citing specific acts, scenes, lines, words or information to illustrate and support the points you are making. Again, you do not need to answer every single question in the prompt cluster in order and separately. Rather, your writing should be designed as a coherent unified piece, not unconnected answers to different questions strung together or a bulleted list. The multiple questions are there to help you brainstorm on the topic and to spark critical engagement with it. You should draw on your own close reading of the material, your discussion about it in and outside of class, and relevant reading and research you have done. Think critically about the material we have encountered and be prepared to think critically on the topic prompted by the test question as well. When writing, follow academic conventions and try to be as legible, clear, effective, and compelling as you can. Rest well, eat clean good food, arrive at least fifteen minutes before exam time, and make sure your student ID, watch, and writing implements are in order. Good luck!
