• Quizzes 

Quizzes have multiple purposes: reading quizzes will reward those who keep up with their reading and will establish  a starting point for discussion. Other questions may ask for brief analyses that solicit your perspective on the topic under discussion. While some quizzes may be announced in advance, not all will be.

• Coorain exam

This early exam is partly a reading test to make sure that you are reading texts carefully and thoughtfully, and to affirm that you are keeping up with college-level expectations.  As such, it will include questions that we have not directly discussed in class.  It will also require that you think critically about what you have read. 

• Final exam

  The final exam will be comprehensive, and will emphasize making connections across the texts that we have read for the semester. It is likely to include both essay questions and the identification and analysis of quotations.  I suggest that you make lists of ideas and discussions that are relevant to the texts that we have read this term, and review them in study groups using your texts for evidence.
