This is open-book—which means you may use the PowerPoint lectures, your lecture notes, and the assigned class readings. Do not use other sources (such as Wikipedia, web pages, outside books, etc.). You will be graded on your familiarity with the lectures, readings, and how well you make your argument based on these sources. Be specific in your answers. For a good grade, convince me that you know the material well and have thought about how best to answer the question. Vague generalities will hurt your grade, but I will not count off for spelling or grammar mistakes.
