Bear in mind that the exam will be based on the topics your groups have selected, but precise wording of the questions will differ. So the best way to study is to re-read the relevant sections in our texts that address those topics. Also, you should review all your section's posts on the CoPhilosophy site. Any relevant questions there are eligible for inclusion on the exam, whether or not they're in the Powerpoint file.
And note: if I find it necessary to supplement the exam with additional questions, I will draw from topics I've mentioned explicitly in my own relevant Up@dawn & Delight Springs posts on our class dates. You should review them as well.
We'll be re-grouping on exam day, so you should sit near those you wish to work with in October before the sign-up sheet comes around.
One more thing: there will be an "extra credit" option: select one of the discussion questions your group has come up with, and write two good paragraphs in response. You may bring the question with you to the exam.
