• ESSAY PORTION, EXAM 2
• Three of the following four essays will be on the
  exam, each worth 15 points. The images provided
  are meant to assist your memory, but they BY NO
  MEANS represent all the information or ideas for
  the essay. Your essays must show not simply a
  comprehension, but a fluency in the larger
  historical contexts of architecture the
  contexts of ideas, politics, economics, and etc.,
  of which architecture is a manifestation. Your
  essays must also prove a fluency in formal
  analysis and vocabulary. Because you have been
  given the essay topics in advance, and because
  you have had not only an essay-writing workshop
  but also an first exam, you are expected to
  attain a level of sophistication in your answers
  that was noticeably lacking in the vast majority
  of essays on the first exam.
• We expect those endowed with a gift and/or
  opportunity be it artistic, intellectual, or
  circumstantial to cultivate that gift and use
  it as a vehicle for excellence in life. As St.
  Luke said, To whom much is given, much is
  expected. (Luke 1248). You have been given
  much use your gifts with devotion. And write me
  an excellent essay.
