Germ 10251026 Final Examdate And Time Friday December 7 From 330

The final exam for GERM 1025/1026 will be held on Friday, December 7, from 3:30 to 6:30 PM at Dalplex. The exam requires students to write two essay responses based on specific thematic prompts covered in the course. Students must develop clear, specific theses relating to the themes and discuss them in relation to two of the works studied in class, which include the texts by Schnitzler, Brecht, and Remarque.

The questions focus on themes such as truth and deceit, love and hate, hope and despair, morality and immorality, setting, hierarchy, idealism versus disillusionment, Bildungroman, the nature of the mind, and the contrast between appearance and reality. Students are encouraged to select two works per essay, potentially discussing all three over the course of both essays. For example, one essay might compare Remarque and Brecht, while another could examine Remarque and Schnitzler.

Essays should follow a proper academic structure: an introductory paragraph concluding with a clear thesis, body paragraphs with topic sentences supporting the thesis, evidence from the texts to substantiate points, and a conclusion reaffirming the thesis and discussing broader implications. When preparing, students should establish their thesis statements and identify 3-4 supporting points per essay, along with relevant textual evidence. A sheet with these points—roughly 4-5 sentences per essay—is allowed and will be checked during the exam. Short passages quoted in full; longer passages can be abbreviated with ellipses.

Students may bring their texts and quotes sheets into the exam. Use of dictionaries is permitted; laptops and phones are not allowed. The exam questions will not be printed but can be printed by students beforehand. Any questions should be directed to the instructor.
