Take home, open resource exam. Therefore, books, notes, journal articles, dictionaries can be used. References are required as part of your answers but are not applied to the length limit. 5-page single-space limit (per essay) not counting references. Each exam essay will be graded according to the following criteria: 1. Does it show mastery of the relevant literatures in the field? 2. Does it fully answer the question? 3. Does it have a central argument/thesis that is clear, coherent, and concise? 4. Is the thesis supported by sound argumentation and evidence? 5. Does it take into account major counterarguments and critique them? Some exam questions give you options of what subarea to focus on (e.g., IO, IPE, foreign policy, human rights, violence). You cannot use one such area in all of your questions: if a major exam you cannot focus on the same area in all three questions, for a minor exam you cannot focus on the same area in both questions. Thus, notice that your choice in one section might constrain your options in the other sections so it is advisable to look over the whole exam before deciding on the questions you answer.
Essay 2 of 3: Qualitative vs Quantitative: Compare and contrast one quantitative approach and one qualitative approach to a research question of your choice. First, state your chosen research question explicitly. What are the issues to consider when deciding which approach would be most fruitful? In your response, please use specific examples and reflect upon how theoretical and methodological approaches are related – or not. If you believe they are related, does this present limitations as to what kind of research can be undertaken? Explain.
