To help you study more effectively, I am providing the following questions which will appear on the Final Examination. The grading curve for the Final will not be modified to reflect these “free” answers. In other words, if you remember the correct answers, your test grade will go up!
Don’t try to memorize the correct answers, but instead understand what the questions ask and what the most appropriate answers are. If you do this, the other questions on the Final will be easier as well.
