Midterm
Instructions
First, this midterm will use a short answer format for each question. If you answer all
10 questions in this assignment currently, you will receive the full 50 pts (obviously, you will
receive zero on each unanswered question you submit/ 5 points per question). Questions that
contain both right and wrong parts of an answer will receive partial points (depending on the
level of incorrectness in the answer).
Second, this midterm will be all short answer/essay questions based on the three
modules that were covered in class (excluding the value speech lectures). Each question is
worth 5 pts each. Moreover, the length of each answer will be denoted on each question. Some
answers should be around a paragraph in length (3-6 sentences) and can either be single or
double spaced. Other answers will be a sentence or two (each question will articulate the
required number of sentences)
Third, in terms of submitting the midterm, students have two options (does not matter
which option you choose).
Option 1) Students can type up your answers in a document and submit it on canvas (or email
it to me if you have canvas issues).
Option 2) students can record a video of themselves verbally answering each question. Once
again, as long as the video has you answering all 10 questions, formatting does not matter.
You can either upload the video to the midterm assignment section on canvas or upload it
to a video platform (YouTube) and post the link to the video.
Short Answer Questions
1) Create your own argument using the Toulmin Model (min 3 sentences).
The argument must have:
a claim/assertion of a point
ground/evidence (For this section I want at least one cited source and 1-2
sentences paraphrasing the sources content)
warrant/commentary on evidence (For this section, I want a few sentences of
personal commentary explaining how your evidence/grounds proves your claim
true.
2) Define the Post Hoc Fallacy and also provide an example sentence(s) of the Post Hoc Fallacy
(min 2 sentences)
