GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. You must turn in BOTH a hard copy AND an electronic version via the Turnitin link on TED.
The Turnitin link will be available beginning after the prompt is posted. It will remain available
even after the deadline has passed, so please be sure to upload your exam even if you are turning
it in late. Hard copy of the exam is due IN CLASS on Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Please
bring them to the TAs at the front of the room at the beginning or end of class. You may bring it
to an earlier class if you want to turn it in early. DO NOT bring your exam to anyone's office
without making prior arrangements. The electronic copy of your exam is due on Turn It In on
Wednesday, November 12, 2014 by 1 pm.
2. The deadline for turning in your exam will be strictly enforced. Late exams will lose points.
Unless you have made prior arrangements with us, it is VERY unlikely that we will make an
exception for late exams. If you receive an exception from Professor Magagna, please be sure to
notify the TAs via email as well.
*TIP: Upload your electronic version on Tuesday night (11/11), and think of the next morning as
your grace period. We will not make exceptions for technical problems, sudden internet outages,
etc.
3. PLAGIARISM POLICY: You must write your own exam, and it must be new. You may not
use text that you have written for a previous assignment or for another class. You may not use
text from the internet or other sources without quoting and citing appropriately. Students who
turn in plagiarized exams will not pass the class, and we may pursue additional disciplinary
sanctions. If you have questions about what constitutes plagiarism please ask the TAs and we
will be happy to clarify.
EXAM GUIDELINES
1. Responses should be five to six pages in length. This is a minimum length and will be strictly
enforced. It refers to FULL pages of text and does not count pages with large amounts of white
space, title pages (which are not necessary), bibliographies, large block quotes, or anything else
that is not the body or your original text. You may write more than this page minimum, but you
will not receive extra credit for doing so.
2. Please use Times New Roman (or similar), size 12 font, double spaced, 1 inch margins on all
sides. DO indent at the beginning of every paragraph. DO NOT skip lines between paragraphs.
3. Be sure that your name and ID number are at the top of the first page of your exam
4. Be sure to include a bibliography. There is no specific format required, but we must be able to
find the source to which you are referring. Only include sources that you have cited in the text.
5. Use parenthetical in-text citations where appropriate (author name, year).
6. Please cite a minimum of three sources. Two must be from class, and one of these two may be
lectures. In other words, you must cite a MINIMUM of one of the assigned readings.
