The Final Exam Instructions (100 points)

You will write an essay for the final exam. The essay will be on student Amelia Goodfellow’s “tangle,” a collage paper on Pick’s Disease (a neurological disorder). That essay will be available in Modules, under Final Exam.

By 11 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12, I will make Goodfellow’s essay available to you (it will not contain her Part 2). You should read it carefully, thinking about the relationships between her threads and what they suggest about Pick’s Disease. (You may find it helpful to reread the Discussion board on student Matthew Guess’s collage paper; you will be doing basically the same thing for the final exam that you did for Guess’s essay, though in a more formal way. In a sense, you will be writing the Part 2 for this essay, explaining how the essay is structured and how the threads connect to each other and to an implied thesis.) On Friday, Dec. 13, by noon, I will release the final exam question itself. The final exam dropbox will also open at that time.

The final exam is not timed, but my assumption is that you will spend a few hours (probably over the course of a day or two) thinking about Goodfellow’s collage paper, making notes about what you have discovered. You will probably spend about 2 hours writing the final exam essay itself; my expectation is that that essay will be about 500-750 words. You should submit that final exam essay to the Final Exam dropbox (in Assignments; there is also a link in Modules) in a .doc or .docx file. Canvas will not accept other file formats.

The final is due at 11 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15. No finals will be accepted past the 10-minute grace period, not even if they are only a minute or two past it. Once the dropbox is locked, the final will not be accepted. Plan accordingly!

I expect to return the final exams within 48 hours after the final is over. They will not be marked as thoroughly as essays, but you will get a brief comment in the dialogue box (as you have for informal responses and the tentative thesis statements).
