Study Guide

There will be a Study Guide for the examinations. It will be posted on the course web page: http://www.uark.edu/campus-resources/rlee/intrsp07/

A note of explanation: There is no guarantee that all the questions on the examination will be taken from the study guide. However, any student who knows, understands, and is able to formulate clearly the answers to all the questions on the study guide should do quite well on the examination. A student who can give answers to practically none of the questions on the study guide will very likely do rather poorly on the examination.

Format of the Examination

This examination counts as fifteen percent (15%) of your course grade.

This is a closed-book, in-class examination on the scheduled date.

There will be two parts.

  • Part I (for ten (10) points) will ask you to answer ten (10) "short answer" questions worth one (1) point each. By "short answer" I mean that a sentence or two (or three) will suffice.
  • Part II (for five (5) points) will ask you to answer one (1) essay question worth five (5) points. You will have a choice from two (2) questions on this part. By "essay" I mean a discussion that will probably take more than a paragraph or two, but should take no more than a few pages.

Ground Rules

As always, cheating will not be tolerated. No help in answering the questions may be received from anyone (except yourself) during the examination. You may not use books or notes during the examination.
