Midterm Covering Weeks 1-4 (through Everyman)

Your midterm is, of course, open book and notes. To form your answers, you must find and use relevant information in the various lecturesfrom Lecture One through Lecture Six (A/V and written), the Mastering the Lyric and Mastering the Sonnet lectures (A/V and written) and in the Glossary—all of which material is in the “Assignments” tab. It will count 100 points with another ten possible bonus points.

DUE DATE AND MANNER OF SUBMISSION: This is due Saturday, September 16, 11 AM, CDT.Upload it as a Word document.

LATE PENALTY: Ten points will be deducted for each hour or part of an hour that the midterm is submitted late.

SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS, VERY IMPORTANT: You must write sensible, clear and grammatically correct answers. I count off for mechanical errors and unclear or imprecise phrasing. The questions in section one require several sentences or a substantial paragraph as answers, but please do not write more than 200 words for any of your answers. (As a measure, the heading and five sentences in this paragraph—up to the colon before the indented quotation—contain exactly 109 words.) When you cite evidence from one of our selections in our texts, you’ll need to use proper documentation form. Here’s an example from one of my lectures containing paraphrase and ending with direct quotation:

As the revelations slowly come out in the middle of the play, it becomes urgent that a shepherd (called the “herdsman” in the play) be summoned who once served in Laios and Jokasta’s household and was the sole-survivor of the murder “where three roads joined” (p. A728, l. 923).

The parenthetical reference comes after the quotation, and the period ending the sentence also comes after the parenthetical reference. The “A” next to the page number means that this passage comes from volume A of the three volumes comprising the course texts; it is optional. The “p.” and “l.” abbreviations are the singular versions because the passage occurs on only one page and in one line. If the quoted or paraphrased passage extends over more than one page or more than one line, you’ll need the “pp.” (meaning pages) and “ll.” (meaning “lines”) as abbreviations (see Style Sheet for more information). You should also use correct title form (see Style Sheet also for that) when you refer to any of these works by its title, but don’t give your own titles to the answers you write.

If you cite a passage from a supplemental work like Villon’s “Ballade” or Everymanthat I gave you in a lecture or other document, you need to provide only the line numbers for the passage, no page number.

A FEW OF YOU ARE HAVINGPROBLEMS FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, SO PLEASE NOTE WELL HOW MANY QUESTIONS IN THE TWO SECTIONS YOU ARE TO ANSWER. IF YOU ANSWER MORE, I WILL COUNT YOUR FIRST ANSWERS WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE YOUR BEST ANSWERS.
