LIB 133 Exam 3 Study Guide Fall 2017 Thursday Nov. 16, 2017 The exam will consist of two parts: a take-home essay (40pts) and an objective section of 30 multiple choice and true-false questions (60pts). Objective questions will be developed from the topics listed below. The essay is to be written at home and will be submitted electronically to turnitin.com the night before the exam and submitted to the instructor as a print document at the exam. The Exam: The exam begins promptly at the beginning of class. Do not be late; students will not be allowed to enter the exam room fifteen minutes or more after the exam has begun. Students will not be allowed back into the exam room once they have left it. Prior to the start of the exam, students will put away any and all electronic devices. All materials must be put in a backpack or bag, sealed shut and placed on the floor next to the desk. Nothing may be removed from the backpack or bag without the permission of the instructor. Students may not speak to one another during the exam under any circumstances. Evidence of cheating will result in a grade of “0” for the exam. Graded Exams Students are permitted to see the graded exams but they may not keep them. The exam document must be returned to the professor during the class period in which completed exams are discussed. Any student who removes the document from the classroom or who copies the exam by any means (and at any time) will face disciplinary action, which includes failing the exam. Students may review the exams with their instructor during office hours but may not remove them from the office. Review Guidelines for Examination To study for this examination, use: • all of the readings listed on the III section of the Fall 2017 syllabus • the discussion questions that accompany the readings and films • films shown in class or streamed at home • primary source documents assigned for class • your lecture and reading notes • lecture notes and/or PowerPoints posted on Blackboard (if your instructor uploaded any) • any additional handouts that may have been posted on Blackboard or distributed in your class section **NOTE ABOUT URL LINKS** By this point in the semester you should have already accessed all of the readings in preparation for class discussions. As has been announced in class and noted in the syllabus, if a URL does not work, try copying and pasting the url into a browser (some will open in one and not the other – try firefox or internet explorer).
