Instructions: The exam should be typed, double-spaced (26 lines per page) with one inch margins all around.

Shorter and longer exams will not be accepted. Your answers should be in essay format, and must make systematic use of the readings which should be cited in the text. Please DO NOT use direct quotes. The citation should include the author’s name and the date of the publication. In the case of the excerpts in McGee and Warms, please cite the actual author followed by the date the reader was published. Example of in-text citation: Tylor (2000) argued that the analysis of survivals is an important method for reconstructing the development of civilization. Other cultural evolutionists (e.g., Morgan 2000) also employed this method, and it is, in some ways, comparable to Darwin’s observation (1998) that developing embryos often manifest characteristics of simpler organisms. Example of list of references: References Darwin, Charles 1998 The Origin of Species. Modern Library, New York. Morgan, Lewis Henry 2000 Ethnical Periods. In Anthropological Theory: An Introductory History, edited by R. J. McGee and R. L. Warms, pp. 41-52. Mayfield, Mountain View, California. Tylor, Sir Edward Burnett 2000 The Science of Culture. In Anthropological Theory: An Introductory History, edited by R. J. McGee and R. L. Warms, pp. 27-41. Mayfield, Mountain View, California. Grading: Grades will be assigned based on the following criteria. 1) Mastery of concepts and ability to relate them in a logical argument. 2) Range of readings and ideas covered. While depth should not be sacrificed to breadth, the exam should demonstrate that you have read and understood the assigned readings. (Please do not rely heavily on the notes provided by McGee and Warms; focus on the original excerpts). 3) Writing. Each answer should be written as an independent essay. Organization, grammar, spelling, and punctuation will all be taken into account.
