Midterm

For your mid-term examination, you will be assigned four (4) essay questions, each covering different topics we have reviewed thus far throughout the semester. Please consult the ‘Rubric for Essay Examination Questions’ for the criteria used to grade responses. Each question will require that you thoughtfully consider the issue presented to you, and articulate a cogent answer using appropriate grammar. Though there will be no requirement to gather empirical sources to justify your replies, you are being graded on your ability to analyze carefully the question, and succinctly summarize your answer to it. As such, information used to draft your responses can be culled exclusively from the assigned reading material. On this point, you will need to cite a direct sentence from the required CRJ-5150 textbook in each of your responses to all four questions. After citing that sentence within each essay response, in parentheses immediately next to it, provide the precise page number, line number, and paragraph number, along with the location of this sentence on the page in the book. Use this direct quotation from the book to supplement your essay responses. Individual essay questions are valued at 25 points, to comprise 100 total for the entire examination. Every essay response should range between 300 and 350 words in length. This is a strictly enforced maximum word count. Every word over will result in a point deduction.
