There will be two exams, and each exam will cover one unit of course material. The dates for exams are on the schedule, and we will spend one class reviewing prior to each exam.
Exams will consist of fill-in-the-blank questions, questions that ask you to identify and explain key terms from class, and short answer questions (questions that ask you to write about 4 sentences in response).
Throughout the semester, you will record notes and observations in commonplace books, and you are free to use these commonplace books during the exam. Some questions may ask you to reflect on observations in the commonplace books (observations about things you've encountered in your everyday life that are relevant to the course material), but commonplace books can also be used to record notes about reading and lectures. You will submit your commonplace book with your exam, and it will be graded (see Commonplace Books assignment sheet).
