Race and Minorities
ESSAY QUESTIONS
MESSAGE TO STUDENTS FROM PROFESSOR
They are essay questions, and I suggest that you take them
seriously. Pay attention to the
instructions. If you are current on your readings, you should have no
problems answering the questions. Remember that I am
looking for a discussion and not just simplistic personal opinions or
regurgitation of facts. Show proof that you have read by making extensive
references to your books. DO NOT use external sources like those you find on the Internet etc: as that would prove
fatal. Answer according to the context of your assigned readings and the questions asked. Good luck.
Things the Instructor is also
looking for that must be answered.
