Wersten Civilization

Review sheet for Midterm
As a reminder, you will have 90 minutes to complete the midterm
You must type your answer into the text box, DO NOT COPY AND PASTE anything. It will kick you out of the system and will cause you to fail.
Remember you need the information to come from my lectures, your text book and the primary source reader. If you simply go on the internet and use that for your exam you will fail. Also, if you put it down word for word that is plagiarism.
Also, the exam is not designed for you to look up all the information in 90 minutes. You should prepare well BEFORE the exam. If you do that the exam should not be difficult.
Midterm: Part I, I will choose 8 ID’s from this list and you will do 5. 15 points
Part II, I will choose 1 of the 4 essays 15 points
