Mongomery College
History 114 Review Sheet for the Final Exam
Dr. Campbell
 

Make sure to bring an ink pen and a “blue book” (available at the campus bookstore) with you to class on the day of the exam.  No make-ups will be given without my prior approval.


 
The exam will consist of:
 
4 term identifications (Choose 4 out of 8 options, 10 points each)
1 essay (Choose 1 out of 2 options, 60 points)
 
For the IDs, identify the term as completely as possible, making sure to discuss what it is, the approximate time frame, and, above all, its significance.
 
For the essay, make sure to answer the entire question, using as much detail as you can, and referring to primary sources which we have read or discussed in class if possible.
 
You may bring a prepared sheet of notes to the final exam.  The note sheet must be word processed or typed and you may use only ONE SIDE of the sheet.  All notes must be 12 pt-size Times New Roman and the sheet must use standard formatting (one inch margins, header, and footer).
 
Good Luck!
