Unit 1 Exam

Exam Instructions: Please Read Carefully

The Exam will consist of terms, short answer, and essays. You will have
1 hour and 15 minutes to complete the exam.

Please note: short answers and essays must be drawn from the
resources presented in class. You may not use any internet resources
to answer these questions. Do NOT use Wikipedia. Since this is
basically an open-book exam, I expect the answers to contain well-
written and composed information from the readings, lectures, and
God In America video and Study Guides. You may NOT cut and paste
large sections of text directly from the Study Guide or from the lecture
or any other resource.

Any uncited quotations from the Study Guide or other resource will be
considered plagiarism and will receive an XF for academic
dishonesty. You may use direct quotes from the class resources, but
they must be cited. Parenthetical citations are fine, such as (Study
Guide, page 5), or (Allitt, p 34), or (lecture on Religions and Civil War).

Your answers should reflect your ability to analyze and apply the
information you have learned over the course of this Unit.

You will be expected to answer the short answer and essay questions
as carefully and thoroughly as you can. Make your points clear,
support them with as much accurate terminology, evidence, and detail
as you can recall, and illustrate them with specific examples from
historical documents, class video lectures, and other course materials.
Use correct spelling of terms as you compose your response.

Now, do not get stressed out about this. What I want is for you to show
me that you have done the work of the class, and can apply your work
to the questions. What I do NOT want is a lot of stuff from the internet.
Its really that simple.
