How to Study for the Final Exam
Last Update: 22 April 2010
Note:
or
material is highlighted
The optional final exam will consist of 5, short-answer, essay questions, of which you would only need to do 3.
Some of them will be arguments to analyze, very much like the position papers.
Some of them will be more open-ended questions, not unlike the
course-description questions
on the syllabus.
Therefore, the best way to study for the exam would be to use your
class notes,
reading journal,
position papers,
and the
email archive
to:
re-write all of your position papers
write short (250–500-word) essays answering the
course-description questions
on the syllabus.
