I.  Multiple Choice and True/False.  Some will be similar to those on your quizzes and exams, but some will also cover material assigned that I did not test you over, as well as aspects of the readings discussed in class and material from class presentations.  Most of your exam will be multiple choice, which will cover material since your last exam (i.e., Chapters 12-16) and pp. 88-123 (Chapter 4) in Inis Beag. You must take the final exam on Dec. 11th (Thursday), 8-10 AM or 2:45-4:45 PM, depending on class schedule; check your syllabus.

 

II.  Matching.  There will be terms you will match (approximately ten) to their definitions. Most will appear as multiple choice questions, so not only should you know their definitions, but also know how the terms apply to your readings and lectures. All of the terms (below) come from material since Exam #3:
