Final Exam Essay
History 1040: Final Exam Cumulative Essay Questions
THE RULES:
You may bring one (1) 8 and ½ by 11 inches sheet of paper containing essay outlines into the exam with you. You MAY NOT write entire essays on that sheet, but you may write as many outlines in as much detail as you wish.
THE PROCEDURE:
Before starting the exam, you will put your name on your outline and hand it in to me. You will then complete the first four sections of the exam. Once you have completed those sections, you will hand those in and receive your outline back. You may then write the essay (the fifth exam section) on notebook paper. You supply the notebook paper.
I will not change/alter/mutilate/staple or spindle these rules. There will be no exceptions. All disputes will be adjudicated by my German Shepherd, and since I am the exalted Provider of All Milk Bones and Assorted Treats, I will win. Good Luck!
