Prompt:

�

• You will answer a total of one question in essay form.

• Write a 4 or 5 paragraph essay that follows the guidelines in The 5 Paragraph Essay Format, which we have used throughout the semester.

• The questions will be based on the following two readings: Lawrence Lessig�s �Privacy as Property,� and Bertrand Russell�s �University Education.�

• You will have two questions from the Russell reading, and two questions from the Lessig reading. And again, you will answer a total of one question.

�

The final examination is closed book.

�

Bring the following materials:

�

• A few pens

• A blue book or some blank lined paper

• A watch

�

Study Strategies:

�

Certainly you should reread both the Lessig and Russell articles a number of times. This approach will give you the best chance of doing well on the examination because you should be able to answer any of the four questions.

�

As an alternative strategy, you might choose only one of the articles and read it many times. However, this strategy will leave you with only two possible questions to answer.

�

I recommend reading both articles so that you are prepared for all four questions.

How to Structure and Organize Your Essay

�

Avoiding Common Errors:

�

• Make certain that you answer the terms of the question.

• Follow the 5 Paragraph Essay Format and do break your essay into paragraphs.

• Because this is a hand-written essay, please do not double space.

• If you have small or otherwise difficult to read handwriting, then please write larger, or clearer, or print instead of using script.

�

Note: Remember to write your name on the blue book; if you use blank lined paper write your name on each page turned in.�

�

Also, make certain to write on your exam paper the question number you are answering.
