Part I: Keyword terms [7 terms, graded out of 10 but then scaled to be worth 40 points total] You will be given 12 terms from among the keywords we have discussed in each class since the midterm. You will choose to write detailed explanations for 7 of them. Your answers should address who/what, when, where, and why for the term. The why (or how) is most important otherwise known as the terms historical significance. The majority of the points for each answer will be awarded based on this part. Whatever keyword it is, I (or your readings) explained it in the context of a major event or as something that had an important legacy that affected other events. You should use your mid-term exam as a study aid to see how to improve this type of answer, or look at the model 10/10 mid-term keyword answers available on cuLearn. The 12 ID terms that will appear on the exam will be taken from the following list: USA/USSR Track & Field Series Western doping narratives Dtente Postwar French national sports program Bandy The Castro myth Soviet boycott narratives Press sisters Charles de Gaulle Canada-USSR Summit Series Nadia Comneci No normal sports in an abnormal society Baseball diplomacy Democratizing the IOC Gender verification testing bermensch myth Title IX The Third Way Sports boycotts Nationalism Part II: Short answer [3 at 10 points each: 30 points total] (choice of 5, answer 3) You will be given 5 short answer questions. You will choose to answer 3 of them. Your answers should go beyond what they would for a basic keyword identification, but will not need to be a full essay. (The keywords should still help you study for this). For an example from a different history class, the questions will be something like this: Explain three major causes of World War I. A full answer will likely be at least 2-3 paragraphs long. Overall, the 5 options will cover the entire course. Part III: Comprehensive essay question [30 points total] (choice of 3 topics, answer 1) You will be asked to write an essay based on a topic that draws together the themes of the course overall, ie: Cold War worldviews, sports diplomacy, nationalism, race, gender, or class as sports issues, mass fitness vs elite sports, the role of the state, the formation of sports narratives, etc. Your essay should address the broad themes, but also provide concrete examples of those themes. Mention specific people, matches, dates, situations, policies, etc., as best you can. Mention specific readings if pertinent. Focus on the big picture of the themes rather than rote memorization of facts, but at the same time, the more detailed your essay is, the better. The examples you provide in your essay must span the entire course. This essay should be 3-6 pages long. Deadlines, Procedures, and other Guidelines: The exam will be posted to cuLearn on Tuesday, August 16 by 11:55pm. It is due via cuLearn on Thursday, August 25 by 11:55pm. You are welcome to hand it in early. Once you upload your exam, you may not make any changes to it or upload a new version. Answers must be word-processed, double-spaced at 12-pt font and have 1 margins. Files must be in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format. Reference to primary and secondary sources should be footnoted accordingly. You do not need to cite information from lecture, but you do need to cite any quotations or paraphrasing that comes from the class readings, like so: (Krasnoff, 37). You may draw on analyses you have already made in your Discussion Board posts and/or your Research Paper (and you should state openly that you are doing so), but you may not copy sections from your earlier work verbatim. Barring an emergency documented by the University, there will be NO extensions or make-up exams. Late exams will NOT be accepted. This deadline is the very last day, as set by the University, for me to accept work in this class. If I dont have your exam on time, I will have to calculate your final grade with a zero on the exam. That said, the exam should not take you 9 full days to write. I suggest setting out time to work on it as if it were a scheduled exam (2-3 hours). Then, after that time slot, you still have the opportunity to check your notes for missing material and edit your answers. If you run out of time, I strongly suggest you do what you would if this were an in-class exam: hand in what you have. This is an open book exam, and you are expected to consult our class materials (your notes and the readings), but you must write your answers on your own and you should not consult internet sources. Evidence of plagiarism from outside sources or collaboration between students will immediately be referred to the Dean, as stipulated in University guidelines. Good luck!
