The final exam will take place on Monday, April 25, at 12pm, in BUCH A201.
The exam will consist of two parts:
- The first part (40%) will comprise short discussions (definitions and descriptions) of key concepts drawn from the list here. (This list is now final.) You will be given seven of these concepts, and asked to write a brief (paragraph or two) definition and description of five of them. In your account, you should both a) say something about the concept in general and b) give at least one specific example from among the texts that we have studied or discussed and explain how this example illustrates the concept in question.
- The second part (60%) will comprise an essay in response to a question taken from a list of possible questions provided in advance. (These questions are now available.)
You are allowed to bring to the exam a “cheat sheet”: notes and ideas, key quotations and essay outlines, or whatever else you think will be useful. This sheet should be no larger than one side of a standard US Letter (8.5″ x 11″; 216 x 279 mm) sheet of paper.

Good luck!
