FAQ

Can I use my notes for the take-home exam?

Yes. You should use your notes and look at key readings again to help you answer the take-home exam prompts.

Do I have to use proper references in the take-home exam?

Yes. Just like the essay, you should use a proper referencing system, including using quotation marks and page numbers for direct quotes. But, you will likely only use 1-3 sources per answer

Can Ireference the lectures?

Yes. Just like the essay, you should reference every source of ideas and/or text. You can reference

the lecture slides or the lecture videos. I’m not too fussy about how you do it, but you should do it if you have used words or ideas from the lectures in your answer.

Can I use the Internet to research answers for the take-home exam?

No. Iam interested in your opinions and arguments about the material I have set. Your take-home exams will be run through Turnitin, which can identify when material has been taken from an online source.

Can I discuss the take-home exam prompts with other students?

Yes and no. You can discuss the prompts in general with and get feedback on your ideas from other  students. You cannot share written notes, plans, or drafts with other students. The take-home exam is an individual assignment designed to test the knowledge and skills you have developed during the paper.

Is the take-home exam timed?

Kind of. You have several days to complete it. Note the release and due dates above.
