HUM 310: (Post-) Apartheid South Africa
Midterm Exam
Part Two: Essay
Sparked by your interested in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa, you will be spending a year abroad in the California State University’s South Africa program and hope to land an internship while you are there. You have just been notified that you are a semi-finalist for internships at:
the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation;
Zibone Tours; and
Each internship coordinator has been impressed by your qualifications, knows that you are taking HUM 310, and hopes to see you emerge as a finalist. But at this stage, your candidacy can only be considered by one organization. The next step is to visit the Wikipedia site on “South Africa under apartheid” and to explain to one of the internship coordinators in a targeted essay of a minimum of 500 words how two texts that you have studied so far in the course might help one better understand apartheid in South Africa.
You should assume that you will be judged at a minimum for the effectiveness of your writing and for your ability to analyze, criticize, and synthesize material. You should also use MLA format.
