Examination instructions:
Assessments of mid-term and final examinations will be based on a global judgment of the examination’s use of course materials, and its clarity, logic, organization, insight, and effort.
More specifically, the following instructions for the essays will form the basis for the evaluation of the responses: This is an examination only on this course and not on material from your general knowledge, prior courses, special interests, and the like. Observe and use well the space requirements for each essay. In each essay, answer all aspects of the question(s); make and develop clear main and subsidiary points; refer accurately to sufficient, specific, relevant material from classes, discussions, assigned readings, guests and field visits (audio-visual material); demonstrate considerable thought about course materials; organize your essays effectively and persuasively and present them in a way to facilitate their reading; and be explicit in your writing by not assuming the reader will fill in gaps for you. If anything in the questions is unclear, make reasonable assumptions, state them, explain their reasonability, and proceed according to them.
Follow these instructions as to page length (each question to be answered in a 2-3 page essay), due date (on Syllabus), etc. Begin each essay on a new sheet. Clearly number each response. Do not restate the question. Securely staple your exam in the upper left hand corner. Do not use folders, binders, or other additional materials. [If you cannot turn the exam in at class, you may, by 5:30 pm on the Monday due date, FedEx or UPS it, or mail it with post office cancellation on it, to me at William James Hall, 33 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 (keep a receipt).
Once the questions have been emailed late on Monday the week before it is due, no one may consult other students or other student notes or seek or receive help from others. Suggestion: Consult informers before late that Monday.
You must SIGN the following statement: “I affirm that I have neither given nor received help on this examination from the time the questions are emailed to the time this examination is turned in.” _______________________________
