Directions: Choose ONE of the following questions to answer. Answers should be APPROXIMATELY 3-5 pages in length, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins. Those who do not adhere to these standards will be penalized.

Your essay should incorporate material from Goldfield and the lecture notes, and you must also cite at least one primary source document from Breen. Outside sources are NOT allowed. Don’t simply restate what the materials say; use evidence from them to substantiate your own argument. Once again, do NOT use any outside sources! If you use any source that is not Goldfield, the lecture notes, or Breen, you will NOT receive credit for the exam.

Use in-text, parenthetical citations in the following manner: (Goldfield, 192), (Breen, 87), (Lecture Notes, September 21). Failure to cite material is plagiarism and will result in a grade of zero.

When to cite: You must provide a citation any time you’re using an idea that isn’t your own. In other words, any time you paraphrase information from a source, any time you use a direct quote, or any time you provide information that isn’t widely known, you need to cite. Failure to provide citations is plagiarism, and will result in a zero on the exam.
