Exam Format
Answer the questions in the following essay prompt. Be sure to answer every part of the prompt. You may use up to approximately 700 words (2 standard, double-spaced pages). Your margins must be 1 all around, text must be double-spaced (not 1.5), and you must use a 12-point or larger font. Include your name and word count (for example, Josie Bruin, Words: 647) at the top of the first page. Do not include the text of the question in your file.
Note that all essays will also be submitted to the Turnitin plagiarism checker for evaluation.
You should include citations to class readings that include author and year of publication (e.g., Johnson 2009). Pick a format, but be consistent. You do not need to include a page number given most readings are available as unnumbered HTML files. A reference page is unnecessary unless you cite something that was not assigned for class (which is discouraged). You do not need to cite lectures or section activities.
This is an ‘open-book’ exam, so you can use your notes, readings, and may review the lecture recordings and slide files as well. However, I expect each of you to write your own answers as you would for an in-person exam. Collaboration on the exams is not allowed. Collaboration includes discussing answers with another student before writing.
Grading
Essays will be assigned a letter grade based on the following criteria. Given the extended time frame available for the exam, grammar, organization, and proofreading will be taken into account. A point value (out of 50 points) is assigned to each grade by Bruin Learn, but this is for the convenience of final grade calculation. All exams are weighted equally through the quarter, and only your best four exam scores are used in calculating your final grade.
Grading Criteria
Content – You should fully answer each part of the prompt, properly use concepts from the course, and justify why particular concepts are relevant for answering the questions. 80%
Writing – including grammar, proofreading, organization, and formatting 20%
Unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor, any exam turned in past the due date and time will be immediately penalized 10%. An additional 10% will be subtracted every 12 hours past the due date and time. Missing exams will be assigned a 0.
When grading for the entire class is completed, grades and comments will be released on Bruin Learn.

Prompt
For the last week, we covered the more recent archaeology of China, Korea, and Japan. We explored how cities often exhibit (1) craft specialization, (2) religious centers, (3) urbanization, and (4) regional trade/interaction. Using a combination of the lecture notes and/or the course readings, select one of the ancient Asian cities mentioned in class and describe what the archaeological evidence suggests about all four characteristics described above for the specific city you chose. In cases where the archaeological evidence is incomplete, suggest where you would need to excavate to get more information and what you would expect to find.
