Write two one-half page essays (300-400 words) and two one-page essays (500-600 words). You will submit all 4 essays together as one document. Use Times New Roman, Font 12, one-inch margins.
Write your essays in a Word document or similar program. If using Word please eliminate the space between paragraphs by going to Home to Paragraph (click on little arrow at the bottom right of the Paragraph tab) and check “Don’t add space between paragraphs.”
Put your name and the title “Exam I” on the top line. In your text, do not repeat the question at the beginning of the essay, simply put Question A1 or Question A2, etc. Do not plagiarise. It’s best to indicate where you found the information in the textbook by using parentheses (Tindall, 431), for example.
If you use information from outside the textbook you must cite that information. If you copy word-for-word something even from the textbook it must be in quotes and cited. Do not use long quotations, rather you should paraphrase and condense information and ideas from sources.
