20 December 1999
Graded final exams and book reports may be picked up any time over
the next month from the box outside my office.
The final exam is scheduled for 12:30 on Wednesday, 15 December
1999. We'll meet in our regular classroom--Gamble 101--and then probably move next
door to 103.
9 December 1999 updated 12

As you prepare for the final exam, remember to
check the Notes page and accompanying
links. Class responses to discussion questions (such as those on Woolf and Orwell, on the essay "He and I", and on the essays
by Borges and McGraw) are being
posted this week.
The exam will follow the same general format as the midterm: a combination of
short-answer questions and questions calling for paragraph-length answers. (Check
the Midterm page for sample
questions.)
In studying for the final, be sure to review your class notes and all essays (whether
discussed in class or not, whether contained in a handout or in our anthology) assigned
since the midterm exam as well as previews and postscripts on the Notes page. (The Notes page will continue to be updated
this week; nothing will be added after Monday, Dec. 13.) In addition, be sure to
take notes on all book reviews and reports (including the sample report on Mencken's Chrestomathy),
and review those notes before the exam. Hard copies will be distributed in class on
Monday; digital copies will be posted (from a link on the Book Reviews/Reports page) Monday
evening.
The final exam may include a few references to texts studied before the midterm--but
in most cases such references will concern writers we have discussed on various
occasions throughout the term (White and Dillard, for instance) and/or recurring themes.
