Short Essay: The first formal essay will give you several options to choose from, including comparing works we have read.
Midterm and Final Exams: Both the midterm and final exam will test your ability to close-read texts. Exams will include both objective and subjective sections, including short answer and long essay questions.
Final Essay: At the end of the semester, you will write one formal essay (5-6 pages) that will demonstrate your ability to analyze and closely read two of the texts we have read and discussed throughout the semester. This essay will need to adhere to MLA guidelines.
