ABSTRACT
There will also be variations in the scholarly standards of each essay: clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth and logical consistency. In other words, putting the final exam question in the syllabus will still result in a distribution of responses, even if they have the entire term to think about their answer. The effect for the student is to see the course as integrated around specific goals from beginning to end and to see you as an organized and effective instructor.
