There is no need for formal citations in your answers for the exam, unless you are quoting something. If you quote something, put it in quotation marks, and then after, state the reference with the flow of the writing. Example: “There is no need for formal citations in your answers for the exam, unless you are quoting something.” stated Don Froning, in his instructions for his midterm exam, on 30 Apr 2013. That said, keep the quotes short and to a minimum; only use them if they really are needed to make your point. That said, remember about plagiarism! You cannot copy word-for-word what is in the textbook! Also, do not just paraphrase what is in a sentence or paragraph from the textbook. Use your own words!!!
The exam will consist of two parts, SHORT ANSWER and ESSAY. For SHORT ANSWER, I expect AT LEAST ONE paragraph that identifies the item by going over the “Five W”s; Who, What, When, Where and Why. Read the “why” as “why significant”. For the ESSAY, I expect TWO PAGES thoroughly answering the question.

SHORT ANSWER
Choose ANY THREE (I say again THREE; no more, no LESS) of the following:
– Hernan Cortes
-Matteo Ricci
-Safavid
-Ming Dynasty
-Voltaire
-Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’ The Communist Manifesto
-Spanish American War
-The “Raj” in India

ESSAY:
Chose ONE (only ONE!) of the following:
– Compare and contrast the causes and consequences of the voyages of Zheng He with those of Christopher Columbus.

-Of the two major Protestant reformers, Martin Luther and John Calvin, who was the most revolutionary figure, and why?

-Compare and contrast Tokugawa’s response to the European incursions in the sixteenth-eighteenth century with that of Qing China. What were the similarities and what were the differences?

-What impact did the Enlightenment have on the revolutions of the 18th century?
-Why was Great Britain the first of the world’s nations to industrialize?
