California State University Animism in Indigenous & Western Societies

The exam essay will include 4 short answer essays, 250 words per page (not including the Works Cited section at the end of each essay), for a total of eight pages or four pages plus four works cited pages.

Did you label each of your essays so that it is clear which exam question that you responded to on each page?
