III. Essay section. You may be given the option of supplying the thesis statement and a brief outline in lieu of a full essay response for one or more questions.
There will be choices among essay questions.
Essay questions may resemble discussion questions which follow each chapter, or may ask you to integrate material covered in class with information in the text. Current events related to education - e.g., headline news from daily newspapers, newsmagazines, or television newsmagazines -- may also be considered for inclusion in essay questions.
Note: Exam #1 will cover chapters 5-6-7-8 plus class discussions which occur during the first three weeks of the semester. As some students may not have received their placements in time, no questions will be dependent upon school-based observations or participation.
We will reserve class time to review or clarify any information from the text which you find confusing or complicated, but it will be your responsibility to ask about specific points, concepts, or issues.
