NOTES:

The procedure for the final exam essay has been changed. You can write it at home but you must include a bibliography and footnotes for any quotes and information you use. This essay will be marked more like your research paper but you can use your computer and any resources you have to answer it.

You will be submitting it to Turnitin on the Moodle and the due date is Wednesday, January 21st by 7:00am and then the drop box will be closed. If you don't get it submitted by then you will have to write the essay during the exam period and you can't bring the essay you wrote so don't be late!
