Final Exam Guide

We are fast approaching the final exam and this post is intended to help you prepare.

Your final exam will be made up of three sections:

Section A has 10 questions worth 20 points

Section B has three short answer questions worth 30 points

Section C has 3 essay questions and you choose to answer only 2 (TWO)

The exam is out of 100 points and makes up 50% of your overall mark (grade).

Please note that your exam covers class topics/discussions and your assignment material.

As you begin preparing return to our online blog and read the opening posts. Be sure that you understand the difference between Political Philosophy and Political Thought.

Know how Political Philosophy came to be, by whom, and why.

Pay close attention to Machiavelli and the discussion of the "state of nature" as found in the work of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau.

If you have questions please see me after class or in my office (G06).

Study hard!
