The midterm examination is due Monday, March 4. Throughout the first half of the seminar, you should begin to assemble your own definitions or explanations for the following terms and issues. Your midterm examination is a polished written presentation (typed and properly formatted) of five of the terms or issues below. Choose only five. Use the readings from the seminar as your sources and document materials accordingly. Refer to art work when appropriate. Your responses for each should be no briefer than one complete paragraph, and all should relate to the topics of the seminar. Some may not have been covered completely yet and will require some secondary work on your part. You may not use dictionaries or encyclopedias as sources.
