I have posted the final exam for my World Literature 1 online section. The exam is in two parts: part one is an objective exam that will test your knowledge of vocabulary, themes, characters, and other literary elements associated with our texts this term. Part two will ask you to answer ten questions about the texts that you have studied this term, similar to questions your were asked to write about in the forums. Part two should be written in paragraph form.
Both exams will be available beginning at midnight on Tuesday, April 21, and will remain available until midnight on Friday, April 30. That means, you should plan on beginning the exams by no later than 9pm on April 30, if you want to have the full time to complete both sections of the exam. Part one has a 30 minute time limit; part two has a two hour and thirty minute limit.
Part one of the exam is closed book. I will trust you to abide by this rule. For the second part, you may use your books in order to cite specific evidence from the texts. You should not rely on your books to furnish the answers; you must go into the exam prepared.
The best answers will show a thorough knowledge of the primary and secondary texts. This should be how you study, including your reading notes. Good luck.
If you feel that your performance might be borderline, I would encourage you to send me an email reminding me about anything extra you might have done for the class, including links, if appropriate.
Finally, if you have not done so by now, I would ask that you take the short survey about LitMUSE/Humanities Online and/or leave some feedback about the course through the tab on the right. Any thoughtful comments will be much appreciated.
