Final Exam: How-To

Reminder:

The final is set for April 10th, from 2:00 until 5:00, in room B260 (that's upstairs from the Student Services Centre).

Follow this link to a pdf of a cheat sheet: it explains the format and gives you guidelines for how to study, but (oh, how can I reiterate this enough) it is not a substitute for regular attendance and doing the readings.

And here's even more basic guidelines:

• write in pen (blue or black) if possible: I don't read things you cross out, so you don't need to erase anything, so you don't need pencil, so there;
• double space, unless your writing is particularly neat: I will do something good for the environment later to compensate, I promise;
• bring extra pens;
• bring cough suppressants that aren't in crinkly packaging;
• bring a bottle of water;
• be on time;
• pee beforehand.

As a general rule, people can be late, but no one is allowed in after the first person leaves.

Revision 04/04/07: The cheat sheet has been revised to remind you that you may bring in a translation dictionary, but that for definition questions you are expected to provide an explanation of how a folklorist uses the term. (That is to say, they will help for the essay component, but not really for the short answer component.)
