Part One (40%; 20 minutes) will consist of your choice of 4 of 7 Identifications (ID’s) from the list below. It is essential that answers describe and also evaluate the significance of the ID. Please note that this format is much more difficult than it may appear. You must take preparation seriously. Write as much intelligent prose as time allows. Each ID should be approximately one page in your examination booklet (ca. 250 words). Think of the ID as a short essay. The ID should be highly selective with emphasis on relevant issues, appropriate detail, and an analysis of significance. There may be a number of specific points of significance. Success comes from thoughtful preparation and clear, detailed, appropriate responses. Part Two (60%; 30 minutes) will be one of the Essays listed below. Because the questions are circulated in advance, it is essential that your essay be well-organized, well-expressed, and well-defended with examples, illustrations, and arguments from the readings, lectures, and discussions. In general, be specific; write as much intelligent prose as time allows. Explain yourself; state your thesis, provide structure and argument. Use appropriate examples to defend your position. Budget your time. The Essay should be comprehensive, balanced, clear. PART I: IDs (40%, 20 minutes).
