As the syllabus says, the midterm exam will have some combination of true-false, multiple-choice, short answer,
identification, and essay questions that cover all the course materials including lectures, readings, films, and
discussions. The midterm exam tests all material up to and including the previous day of lecture.
Below is a “roundup” of some of the most important terms and concepts from the course leading up to the
midterm. First, look at these hints about the process of studying:
1. Review all the readings, particularly your markups and the summaries you wrote (as advised by the
“Important Reading Guide”).
2. Be sure you can identify the thesis or key points and main argument of all readings and lectures.
3. Review all your notes from discussion, lecture, and films.
4. Go through the reading reflection questions and review them, particularly the ones you didn't answer, but
also review your own RRs to refresh your memory.
5. Invent some of your own questions about the material and see if you can come up with a thesis and some
points from the readings to support them.
6. Study together in partners or with groups.
7. Go through all the terms, concepts, and themes in the review sheet. Perhaps use the sheet to question study
partners.
