Answers should be typed, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins, and grammatically correct. Essays should have a logical structure developing your points. Be sure you have a beginning, middle, and a conclusion. Explain what you say and define terms. Place all direct quotes in quotation marks and give the author and page number in parentheses after the quote, for example (McMahon 20). Don just string quotes or terms together, but explain them in your own words to show that you have thought about them. Although you may use external material, the purpose of the exam is for you to show your own knowledge; therefore, responses should be your work alone.
