Essay exams are hopefully less stressful because the burden of memorizing and cramming is
eliminated. However, there is an expectation with essay exams that a deeper level of thinking is
operating, and responses are more organized and thorough. Think first, then write. Answers should
demonstrate the depth of your thinking and provide adequate support and examples.
Type your responses under each question.
READ and respond to ALL question prompts carefully. Most students get points off for
simply not reading well.
