Final Exam Times: • 81008 @ 10-11:50 Dec. 13 • 81012 @ 11-12:50 Dec. 15 • 81014 @ 12-1:50 Dec. 13 • NOTE: a major change has been made to the syllabus calendar—you no longer will turn in Part 1 of the final on Dec. 10. Instead, bring it to the final exam on the day listed above.
Big picture idea: • At the beginning of the semester, I explained this course would follow the med school model of learning: • Watch a surgery (read example essays) • Do a surgery (write essays) • Teach a surgery (peer edit) • This exam will bring us full circle and cover the major skills of the semester—reading and analysis
Skills that will be tested: • Your ability to read an article and analyze it in writing, looking for: • Logos (rhetorical devices & evidence) • Ethos, pathos • Logical fallacies • Author’s purpose
How to prepare: • Look over your notes on the rhetorical analysis process • Look over your rhetorical analysis essay and the graded comments, especially • Look over your notes on argumentative strategies and fallacies • Look over the handout “How to Write Well.”
What to bring: • Your rhetorical analysis process chart • Your SF Writer • Your completed portfolio for Part 1, with the Reflective Response essay placed in the front • A blue book (can be purchased at any college bookstore)
