There will be 50 multiple-choice questions on the midterm and final exams. You will be asked to write one essay on each exam. The questions in the multiple-choice section of the final will be based exclusively on lectures and readings from the post-midterm half of the course. Some of the Big Issues (see below) for the final involve material from the entire course. SHORT PAPERS: There will be two short papers (50 points each). You may choose any one of the Big Issues (see below) for the Midterm for Short Paper #1 and any one of the Big Issues for the Final for Short Paper #2. Short Papers must be between 2 full pages and 3 full pages in length, written in 12-point Times Roman (or Times New Roman) font, with 1-inch margins on all sides.

CSUS instructors who use Turnitin are asked to include the following statement on their syllabi: Consistent with Sacramento State s efforts to enhance student learning, foster honesty, and maintain integrity in our academic processes, instructors may use a tool called Turnitin to compare a student s work with multiple sources. The tool compares each student s work with an extensive database of prior publications and papers, providing links to possible matches and a similarity score. The tool does not determine whether plagiarism has occurred or not. Instead, the instructor must make a complete assessment and judge the originality of the student s work. All submissions to this course may be checked using this tool. Students should submit papers to Turnitin assignments without
