Week 6, Oct. 5, 9--Midterm review and exam

1. The exam will be given to you after class on Friday Oct. 2. It is individual work. You are not to collaborate with anyone else, but you can consult any materials we used for the class: books, articles, Zoom recordings, slides, class notes, as well as doing independent research. It's an open-book exam.

2. You will have a week to complete the exam. This process is designed to relieve some of the stress of a timed exam.
 
3. You will have to answer three or four essay questions with a strict word limit of 150 words. Answers should be direct, with data, evidence, reasons, the why, the how. 
 
4. There will be a graphic to draw and interpret.

5. You will email the completed exam to jbreiner@unav.es by noon on Friday Oct. 9, Pamplona time. There will be no class that day. 
 
6. Again, this work is to be done individually. You are not to collaborate with anyone else. You are on the honor system. I am trusting you to work individually. 
 
7. In class on Monday Oct. 5, I will have an exam review class in which you can ask me to review or clarify some concepts.

The following are some concepts and important people we talked about and read about. You will need to understand many of them to answer the questions on the exam. All of them are in materials we have used for the class.
