Guidelines for the final exam
The final exam is opportunities for you to compose short essay responses to specific questions about the works we cover in this course.

Specifically, you will demonstrate your ability to:
•Write about professional writing, in response to a prompt
•Analyze another author’s work and identify its argument
•Organize your thoughts well and build an argument of your own

Guidelines for reading responses
For most of the sections of Rereading America, you will complete summaries of selections and responses to those selections.
?Select articles of greater than three pages.
?Write a summary of each author’s central, controlling idea (thesis) and major points used to support that idea.
?State the selection’s central, controlling idea in the first sentence of your summary. A summary is NOT a retelling of the action or the story. Dig deeply into the meaning of each selection.
?Write responses to the ideas in the articles in which you express your own argument in response to those of each author. A response is NOT a statement of whether you like or agree with the selection. It is NOT a statement of how you felt as you read the selection. Ideally, your response does not contain the word “I” anywhere in it.
?Write authoritatively and objectively throughout your summary and response.

Use only a standard, easily-read font, similar to Verdana, Arial, or Times New Roman, and use only left-justified text. Use one-inch margins on all sides.
