Issues and Methods

Study session Monday May 7th, 2:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.

Room 138 Social Sciences.

Due Dates
The first paper is past due.
The second paper is past due.

The final exam will be of the same basic format as the midterm. It will be cumulative. You will be required to answer some questions about material before the midterm and some about material after the midterm. The notes policy will also be the same as that of the midterm: open notes, including printouts of my online notes; closed book. That suggests that it is a good idea to have good notes.

Your exam grade is only 20% of your overall grade. If your curved grade on the final is greater than that on the midterm, I drop the midterm. Otherwise the exam grade is the average of the curved grades on the two exams.
