How to Study for the Final Exam

Last Update: 22 April 2010

Note: NEW or UPDATED material is highlighted


  1. The optional final exam will consist of 5, short-answer, essay questions, of which you would only need to do 3.

    1. Some of them will be arguments to analyze, very much like the position papers.
    2. Some of them will be more open-ended questions, not unlike the course-description questions on the syllabus.


  2. Therefore, the best way to study for the exam would be to use your

    to:

    2. write short (250–500-word) essays answering the course-description questions on the syllabus.
