You should engage in writing this essay only and only after having completed Module 1 and covered all of its materials (see the module). Your essay should clearly separate your answer to each question by recalling the number of each question. You should submit your answer in one single Word document. Your entire essay should have 3 to 5 double spaced pages. You must use what you need to answer each question completely.
No research is required to answer this question. The course materials should be more than enough to provide you with the information needed to answer the question. When referring to published documents (including this course’s textbook and additional readings, videotaped lectures, power point presentations, and films), you must cite them properly, following the author-date Chicago manual of Style (see the Welcome page on this website).
- What conceptions of Africa do you bring to the course? Be honest- there’s no right or wrong answer.
