For your midterm, you will write a 4-5 page essay on a topic of your choice (that is highly related to what you have learned in the class thus far.) (see down below about topics) is If you cannot think of a topic please let me know, however, I hope that you could select a topic that is of personal interest to you as it 1. It allows you to dig deeper into a topic that is relevant to you while 2. Showing me that you are engaging in the material. If you are having trouble thinking of a topic let me know. If you are completely stuck, expanding on a discussion question could work as a topic. I am allowing you some free-range with this so I expect that you connect the dots and come up with a topic that is interesting to you and highly related to the material that we have covered.
