You will write 4 essays for this exam using citations and each one should be greater than 250 words
long. There are a total of 16 questions in four categories of four questions each. You will choose one
question from each of the four categories.
The long essay would be a traditional essay that is typically 5 paragraphs long. The first paragraph
should introduce the topic and state the student’s position / answer to the question. It should contain
between three-five (3-5) complete sentences, including the thesis statement for the essay. The
second, and third, and fourth paragraphs are the body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should
contain between three-five (3-5) sentences, including the topic sentence (first sentence of the body
paragraph, states a main point that supports the thesis) and at least two-three (2-3) specific
examples per main point. The fifth and final paragraph should begin with a restatement of the thesis.
It should be three-five (3-5) complete sentences, and include a brief summary/conclusion of the
student’s answer to the essay question. It is essential, particularly in the survey courses, for students
to provide cites and footnotes for their work in untimed exams. Citations must adhere to the Chicago
Style format but perfection is not expected. An example of common citations are included on pages
four and five of this edition. These essays should be at least 250 words long.
DO NOT BE CONCERNED WITH THE FORMATTING OF THE TEXT AND CITATIONS AS THEY
WILL NOT COPY/PASTE CORRECTLY. THAT IS OK.
