Why Short-Answer & Essay Questions?
Essay and short-answer exams test your ability to demonstrate an understanding of the relationships between the course content, the course objectives, and the practical and theoretical perspectives used to understand the course. You are expected to integrate what you have learned in lectures, readings, and discussions over the duration of the semester and apply that knowledge. You are then asked to articulate these connections critically and effectively in written form, usually in complete sentences and paragraphs.
