Rules: Although this is called an exam, I am not asking for hurry-to-finish work. Make sure your answer has a clear thesis supported by appropriate evidence. Feel free to include sketches (hand-drawn only) as illustrations to assist (not replace) your writing. All answers must be typed, and must be written in clear and correct language. If you use any outside sources they must be appropriately referenced and documented. (A plagiarized answer will get you a failing grade on one-third of your total course work, so please be careful about this.)
Due: Hand in your completed work no later than class-time on Friday the 20th.
