I will be focusing on substance and quality (rather than on quantity and superficiality) as well as communication and organization in your responses. You may draw from any course assigned readings beginning in Week 1 up to Fausto-Sterling to make your positions or arguments. Refrain from tangent responses. Please refer to the Grading Rubric Below the exam questions for how you will be assessed on each numbered question. Direct quotes need quotations and in-text citations along with a reference section at the end of your responses indicating where information was sourced. Use your disciplinary standard for style formatting – for sociology majors/minors you may use ASA style guide: https://lib.trinity.edu/citing-sources/asa-style-citations/. Please keep direct quotes to a minimum and mostly focus on scholarly interpretation. Failure to submit by the date/time will result in a zero. Grading Rubric for Exam 1 is noted below questions.
