There will be 20 questions, @ 5 points
each. Letter grades will go by the traditional scale: 90-100 A,
80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D. There will be partial
credit.
Short-answer questions, two sentences
max. Nothing tricky, just a straightforward test of knowledge
of the issues. (Examples: “State one objection
to theory T”; “What is the point of the so&so example?”; “What is the
difference
between theory X and theory Y?” Nothing more
specific than such; no detailed memorization required.)
You get to choose what percentage
of your final grade the exam will count, between the limits of 20% and
80%. You will make that choice and record it on your exam paper,
after you have taken the exam but before you hand it in.
