====== Exam ======


Undergraduate students in the course will be required to complete a take-home exam late in the quarter that will cover material from lectures and from the assigned readings. The exam will consist of several short essay prompts. The prompts will cover course materials up to the point of the exam; they will emphasize synthetic understanding of course materials and will not require outside research. We estimate the exam will only take a couple of hours to complete, however, given the circumstances, we will make it available during two days and students may complete it at any time during that window.
