OVERVIEW:
Your final exam is a culminating activity to help you explore, expand, and take stock in what you’ve learned in our course. There are a variety of approaches summarized below.
Final exam period! Submit your final exam according to the guidelines.
Your final (essay) exam asks you to include material from all of our lessons. It requires that you can quote directly from all chapters and readings we have studied. You will need to link to discussions, other materials, and connect ideas. The essays are interesting! But to prepare, your work at taking notes, collecting key materials to be ready for the exam are key.
HOW LONG IS THE ESSAY EXAM?
AND WHAT ARE THE OTHER GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS?
Your exam will:
→ Be single-spaced, 4 – 6 pages long;
→ Have a references section that follows a consistent bibliography format, such as ASA or APA.
→ Have a witty or meaningful title for each essay;
→ Follow all the instructions and respond to questions clearly and directly;
This final exam is due no later than 6/26. I have left the deadline as late as possible–but there are no more days left after that!
EXAMINATION QUESTIONS
REQUIRED QUESTION: Recall our work on discussion boards engaging with photography as another kind of evidence. You can review your posts on DB11 part 2 and in DB11 on work and family. You can review cl
ass programs and discussions of photography and how to read photography. In that context, examine one of the photo essays below, and select a single image within the essay to focus on. Cut and paste that image into your essay response, and be sure to label it.
Your short essay will introduce the photograph including the context it was in (i.e. what the photo essay was about and what the specific photo was about). The introduction should also include a theme that will be developed using the steps below. That theme must relate to our reading on “Who Cares” by Joan Tronto: The article is posted with our course materials.
You will then present what you see as the meaning or significance of the image and how it links to or represents five concepts we have studied in this class. After your introduction, you’ll start by writing about what specifically you see in the image. This might involve explaining more about the photo essay story–what it was about might link to big ideas in the class. Write about how the image is framed and how that helps guide what you are seeing. Write about what you understand is the context of the image–that is what are the social circumstances that you understand to be the context.
And then write about how you think it is significant to ideas studied this semester. Your essay will include at least five quotations from Cohen or other readings: Those quotations should come from at least TWO chapters from Cohen and at least one quotation from Tronto.
Your conclusion should return to in what way you see photography as a tool for thinking about the sociology of families.
