I.  Multiple Choice.   Some of these are similar to those on your quizzes, but some will also cover material assigned that I did not quiz you over, as well as aspects of the readings in Inis Beag and Chapters 9-11 discussed in class and material from class presentations.  Most, if not all of your exam will be multiple choice.

III. Familiarize yourselves with the societies discussed in Chapters 9-11.  Also, consider the questions at the end of each chapter.  Finally, review the descent systems in Chapter 10 and be able to identify members of patrilineal and matrilineal descent systems, as well as ego’s cross and parallel cousins.  Since I made such a big deal of it, I’ll probably also ask you a few questions about folklore.
