The final exam study guide can be found here. I will be taking questions in class Wednesday of this week (5/18), but feel free to ask me questions outside of class ahead of then.
Your only assignment for 5/18 is to review the study guide and be ready with any questions at our last class on Wednesday.
Professor Harbison, how many identifications and short essays will be on the exam out of the 15 and 10, respectively?
Which stock market crash are you referring to?
@Jonathan I’ll answer specifically about the number of questions in class tomorrow. It will be roughly the same as the midterm.
@Anita 1929 Stock Market Crash is the one I’m referring to.
Concerning the argumentative essay, are you referring to social, economic and political transformations?
@Eleazar Yes, that is correct.
Concerning the argumentative essay, do you want us to talk about immigration that was covered before the midterm such as the Dutch and British/Irish and German?
@Jonathan Yes, I recommend talking (at least briefly) about the earlier waves of immigration. If you wish to place the main focus on 20th century immigration waves, that is no problem.
@Jonathan To clarify, I will likely ask a question asking to focus primarily on one wave of immigration (of your choice) but make at least brief comparison to other waves.
I know this is late, but I am slightly confused as to what you want us to know about Medgar Evers. Would this be sufficient: An African American civil rights activist from Mississippi involved in efforts to overturn segregation at the University of Mississippi. He became active in the civil rights movement after returning from overseas service in World War II and completing secondary education.
@Ahajibay That is good, although I would also include a date or date range to indicate when he was most active in his work in Mississippi. It is also important to mention his assassination, since his death mobilized others fighting for civil rights.
Professor will you be posting our grades from the blog and final on blackboard
@Harpreet No, I’m posting those to Blackboard, but if students send me an email, I’m happy to email back with this info. By tonight, I will send it to you, Harpreet.
Is it possible to get an e-mail concerning the grades as well? Thanks again!
