EXAM #2

Questions will be drawn from the material after the first exam: that's Beckett, Kitchen Sink Art, Borges, Varèse, on through to the end of all other materials since.

I. IDENTIFICATIONS. [Total 26 points.]

Maybe identify who is A... or the composer of the music of Koyaanisqatsi -- that kind of question. These questions will be inflicted individually during the first part of the last scheduled class period before "dead" week: Friday, April 24th.

II. QUOTATIONS. [Total 50 points.]

A combination of identification and significance questions will follow quotations from the literature, art images, music excerpts, and the other relevant materials selected for their representativeness of our discussions on key points ever since the previous exam. This section of the exam will be crafted as a take-home component, distributed during "dead" week, requiring connection to the relevant eLearning folder, titled "End-Game," under Course Content.

III. TAKE-HOME ESSAY. [Total 24 points.]

Answer the following question with brilliant critical thinking, originality, and superb writing skills. The essay should be a virtuoso piece of glory manifested in impressive eloquence, with facile reference to specifics from the materials, properly documented, to the tune of about two (2) pages, double-spaced.
Both take-home components of this exam must be either turned in at 355 Avery Hall (under the door if I'm not in), or e-mailed to me (and be sure to get a confirmation of receipt back from me), any time before 11:00 am, Tuesday, May 5th. At the stroke of 11:00 am on Tuesday May 5th, I shut down all communication, retreat into seclusion, and descend into a grading frenzy. If your essay is not submitted by then, you forfeit 24 points of this last grade. If both Parts II and III are not in on time, there go 74 points.
