(The course objectives are not the assignment’s questions. They explain on which topics we based the Midterm)
Because the Midterm assesses the course objectives for the first four weeks, please only use the required readings and all in Lessons (Lectures), including the linked resources there. Try to carefully comb through the assigned literature for the first four weeks to find facts that pertain to these questions.
Please write complete sentences and pay attention to your grammar and sentence structure. The required length is 4 double-spaced pages in 12 pt. font, not including the References. Make sure to use the Chicago Reference Style with in-text citations and include a Reference List at the end of your essay.
