FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE

This study guide is provided to give you an overall idea of the content and procedures for the semester’s concluding test (worth 20% of the course grade). Content has been selected from weeks five through fifteen (inclusive). For full details, consult the PowerPoint presentations, additional lecture notes, and other sources, as desired.

The final exam is scheduled to take place on: Thursday, December 20, 2:30 – 4:20 pm in our classroom, H-509

Although the projected time to complete the required part of this exam will be about 45 minutes, you are invited to use the entire class period if you need it.

You will bring with you a pen (black/dark blue ink) or pencil (dark lead), an unmarked examination book (“blue book” or “green book,” large or small) that I will examine just prior to distribution of the exam and (if used) your crib notes. DO NOT WRITE in the examination book prior to the exam, as this may be regarded as cheating, and may result in substantial penalties! However, you will be allowed to bring to the test one crib sheet (notes), sized 8 ½” x 11,” with content on ONE side only. Feel free to write important facts and an outline of your answers on the FRONT side of the crib sheet, as well as a list of your sources (back side is ONLY for sources). Alternatively, the crib notes may be two sheets of one-side printed paper that’s stapled together. Do not copy verbatim your answers into your exam book .

You will be responsible for responding to short answer options, based on content from weeks five through fifteen (inclusive). Although you should do your best with mechanical aspects (spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, word forms), the emphasis will be on strong organization of content, reliable information, and sound analysis. No credit will be awarded for extra answers or for choosing topics not on this list. No substitutions! This study guide is designed to help you to select a topic that’s narrow enough in scope for a short (two or three paragraphs, or even longer), yet impressive, modern world history composition. I am not looking for citations (footnotes, endnotes or parenthetical citations) for this assignment. However, you MUST include a list of ALL sources (bibliography) used in order to avoid the charge of plagiarism! When you are done writing, you will need to turn in your blue book, crib notes, and the exam prompt. Selecting ANY TWO items from the list, answer the following question below. For items followed by an (*), organize it partially with content found in one of the PowerPoint presentations.

Question: In your opinion, what are two topics from weeks five through fifteen that have been historically important? Justify your answers with specific information.
