Terrorist Question 5 out of 6

Use good narrative paragraphs.  I should be able to see the answers to all the questions either in how you develop the answer, or how the answers might be implicit in your response.  Have an introductory paragraph so I know the topic you are responding and what you are going to develop.  Have one paragraph for each issue, argument, point you want to make.  Have a concluding statement. 

Have a cover sheet to the exam, use good one idea paragraphs; if you use direct quotes, use them correctly, if you have data or specific examples, be sure to cite them correctly.   But use outside sources sparingly, I want to see your words and ideas in the responses, not paraphrasing of the text, outside sources, or quotes used to write the responses.   Never ever cut and paste hunks of data from the web, or copy from a text, even if you document, to write the paper.   Quotes are used to support your writing not replace it.  See my PowerPoint on using quotes correctly, as well as the primer for writing.

There is no minimum or maximum number of paragraphs or length to the answers.  Write as much as you need to answer the question, a good answer is no shorter or longer than it needs to be.
