Overview of Final Exam

As I noted yesterday (Thurs.) during our last class meeting, the final exam will be broken into two parts. Part I will consist of short-answer questions (around 35 or so) on material from the last half of the course. The last half of the course begins with our coverage of Crime Types. In that context, remember to check the blog for my follow-up comments to the families' chapter reports. The total points for this section will be 58. Part II will consist of about 16 or 17 questions selected from the Midterm exam. You will see the exact same question as appeared on the midterm, only the point value of many of them will be increased. The total points for this section will be 52. Of course, the final exam as a whole counts 110 points.

In addition to the Crime Types' follow-ups, I also posted my follow-up comments on the drug war video, which you need to review.

In terms of xerox handouts in class, there were three altogether:
(1) "Hollow Claims About Fantasy Violence" by Richard Rhodes
(2) "A Very Fine Line" by Michael Pollan
(3) "Winning the Drug War Isn't So Hard After All" by Michael Massing

No questions on "A Hard Straight"

Review Session: this Sunday 2-4PM in Main 126.
