This section includes five short essay questions.Each question is worth 10% so make sure to answer every question in complete sentences (no bullet points).For each short answer question, answer the question as complete as possible by including any people, places, laws, dates, etc. that you believe are relevant to the question being asked.The more thorough your answer, the better your grade will be.Expected length should be about a substantial paragraph (150 words minimum for each response).Responses to each question should not exceed 500 words; exceeding 500 words per question will result in a 1-point deduction.Please also remember to use quotation marks where necessary and to provide a brief citation for any material you quote or paraphrase.Keep in mind that since this is not timed and you get to use your books, my expectations for the quality of work you should be able to produce are higher.
