When answering the exams be as thorough as possible using all you have at your disposal. Do not use quotations. The essays must be a minimum of 1,000 words, and usually more to include everything from the lecture notes, hyperlinks, text and other sources. The essay should always start with the background leading up to the issue discussed as outlined in the lecture notes. The identifications should always answer; who, what, why, when, where, how, and the significance of the item to what we are learning; at least two to three good paragraphs.
