Final Exam Study Guide
The final exam is worth 35% of your overall course grade.
No exceptions will be made for lateness, please arrive early. No study notes, text books, dictionaries or electronic devices will be permitted. Leave all of these items at home. Please note, students are NOT allowed to petition to RE-WRITE a final examination.
This document is a study guide indicating the course material you are responsible for reviewing in preparation for the exam. All questions on the exam will be drawn from material outlined in this study guide; please prepare for all questions.
The exam is comprised of three parts: four definitions (4 x 5% = 20%), four short answer questions (4 x 10% = 40%) and one essay question (1 x 40% = 40%). You will have two hours to complete the exam so be sure to manage your time accordingly. The purpose of the exam is to demonstrate your knowledge and not just memorization of the course material from readings, lectures and tutorial discussions. Equally important are your skills in critical thinking and writing. Consider all of these when designing your answers.
