Guidelines for the Unit Exam
1) Guidelines: There are 3 parts to the Unit Exam. All three parts must be address and all three parts must be submitted together in a single document. Guidelines for each part are located in the links below.
2) Research and Citations: The Unit Exams are not timed, so you may use your textbook, the videos, or other outside sources. In the case of the textbook and the videos, only direct quotes need to be cited, requiring only the authors last name in parentheses. Outside sources (books, websites, etc.) may also be used, but in this case all information must be cited and must be listed in a works cited (or bibliography) at the end of the essay. For your citations, please use Chicago, MLA, or APA. You will submit your paper through plagiarism checking software, so be sure to cite any and all direct quotes. For help with citations, see the History / Writing Help
section of the course menu.
3) Submission: All three parts of the Unit Exam must be submitted together in a single word processing document. Each Unit Exam is worth 100 points of the final grade, and will be due by 11:55 PM on the date listed in the course calendar. All papers must be submitted through the course website and must be one of the following file types: .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .txt. Do NOT submit .pdf, .pages, or google doc files.
