The instructor is interested in (a) the depth, breadth, and clarity of your analysis and explanations, and (b) the cogency and effectiveness of your arguments and claims. All concepts and illustrations should be well reasoned and well supported with relevant data from the textbook or other references. Above all, your grade will depend heavily on how effectively you write and illustrate your response with relevant material and insight. Mere general statements, quotes and references do not meet the basic requirements of this Midterm Exam. Quoted and paraphrased material and data sources should be referenced using APA style

Charts, graphics, tables, reference listings, table of contents, face pages, or PowerPoint presentations do not count in the total page length. Number all pages.
