FALL SEMESTER, 2007
To assist you in preparing your responses, you may use any written source or discuss the questions with anyone you wish. On December 10, we will meet in Moody 201 from 3:00 to 5:50 p.m. Students will be asked to write responses to Questions 1 and 2 and responses to two of the remaining eight questions. In no case may a student write on material that he/she has already presented. Students may not use any sources in writing their responses in class and are asked to write their responses in blue books (available at the University Bookstore), at least one for each question. Laptop computers may be utilized.
