The final exam


    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.
