All work on this exam must be your own and not from Wikipedia or some other equally inept
web based source. If you use a source in your essays for reference, please cite is MLA style that
is in parenthesis. To not do so or to copy from the web is plagiarism. Midterms are to be typed,
double-spaced, size 12 font. Due in person Tuesday, 10/24 at the start of class. Good luck.
NO email exams or late exams accepted. Period.
