Study Guide for Final Exam – Cultural Anthropology

Fall 2005

I. Unless I have told you otherwise, you must take the final exam in order to pass the course, so please note the exact time this Thursday that your exam is scheduled. The final will cover Chapters 14, 15, and 16 only. Since this exam counts as much as your previous ones, I have decided not to include questions from your first three exams. I will also ask a question or two regarding the film I showed in class last week. Most, if not all, of your exam will be in the usual form of multiple-choice questions, but I may also include true/false and matching. To help you prepare for the exam, you might go to the textbook’s website, www.prenhall.com/scupin and click on the link to your book to access a detailed outline of each chapter, sample quizzes, etc.
