And, of course, if you have any questions about the texts that we've covered (or scarcely covered) in class this semester, I'm always available via email.

Now that we have the midterm as an example of how Prof. Ortiz-Robles puts exams together, it should be a little easier to review. I recommend going backward (starting with Wilde and heading back towards Tennyson and Mill), looking over the sections of texts that Prof. Ortiz-Robles discussed in class and thinking about how those sections reveal the larger aims of their texts. You should probably come into the exam with a sense of

1. The meaning(s) of each text,
2. The larger project(s) of each writer, and
3. The sorts of rhetorical and formal strategies each author uses.

Your answers to the essay questions (a list of which you will receive in class next week) should all tie tightly into your reading of these texts, so you are generally best off focusing on the questions and topics raised by the texts and only later thinking about the ways these texts help you answer the questions the essay topics ask.

Please, if you have any questions at all, contact me via email. I'm here to help you!
