The take-home final exam for this course consists of the following two essay questions covering the reading assignments from the second part of the course in Mehran Kamrava’s The Modern Middle East and Fouad Ajami’s The Dream Palace of the Arabs. Each of your essays should include an introduction with a thesis statement that provides a response to the essay question, specific evidence from the assigned readings in support of your thesis, and a brief concluding paragraph that sums everything up. Your responses to these questions should be your own work, written in your own words, and based on the assigned readings and our discussions about them in class.

I want to see reflected in your responses your own engagement with the material we studied this semester, not what you might be able to find online or generate using an AI tool. Responses that are not your own will not receive credit.
