RE-SET FOR SYEL --- you'll be taking this in the regular Canvas "quizzes" function, so ignore the SmarterProctoring instructions below.

Please do not open any other tabs, use any other pages inside the Canvas course, etc.

You will have 2 hours to complete this exam once you have opened it. At the end of 2 hours, the exam will automatically submit. Make sure you have a fully charged computer.

Do not attempt to take this exam on a phone or tablet.

Full credit on the exam is 185 points -- you'll see about 215 points here, but that's because you'll be able to skip some of the short answer questions.

Do not open other tabs on your computer during the exam. If you use a software or app like "Grammarly," turn it off before starting to avoid a problem. (The SmarterProctoring system should be set to prevent accessing other tabs or apps, but do not open anything else regardless.)

Do not use your books during the exam.

Some selections from the literature will be provided for you to work with inside the exam questions.
A text and author list will be made available inside the exam. You can see the same list in the Canvas module for the final exam. But since you're not supposed to use any other documents or tabs, I'll post the list again inside the exam.

Do not use any other materials (handouts, printouts, note sheets, phone, or any other device) during the exam. The proctoring system is set to detect ducking away from the screen, leaving the camera area, walking around with your laptop, talking to other people, etc. It's not perfect, but please abide by the expectations of the exam as if you were in a traditional proctored testing room.

Written portions must be entirely your own work and may be screened for plagiarism.

****************************

question styles you can expect:

(1) ten multiple choice & fill in the blank questions checking for general familiarity with the material

(2) a few passages from the literature that you'll be asked to identify (using your text list) and write a "short answer" (1 paragraph) about -- the short answers are not looking for a specific response and will be graded based on whether your response is significant (are you looking at important issues?) and accurate (is your understanding of the passage and the text generally correct?) -- you'll choose 5 of these questions to answer, allowing each student to write about the texts they've read and understood best.

(3) one short essay (3-5 paragraphs) in which you'll select a general theme from the provided options and write about how 2 or 3 texts engage with that theme -- the essay portion is an opportunity to show what you have learned and remembered from the class.
