Final Family Activity: Making Up Questions for the Final Exam & Reminders

FINAL FAMILY ACTIVITY: It is time for each of the families to start making up questions for the final exam. I will give you some time during the next couple classes to confer with your fellow family members. The second half of this course began with "The Dot-Communist Manifesto" and "Karl's New Manifesto" and Chapter 6 in the text on Lenin and Luxemburg. From that point forward, I want each family to come up with 4 SHORT-ANSWER questions from any material covered in class lecture or on the blog (as in the case of Chapters 9 & 10). I want a representative from each family to submit these 4 questions (AND ANSWERS) NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 6TH. I will then consider them and select at least 2 questions from each family, and for each additional question I select you will earn a bonus point. I will post these questions and answers no later than Friday, May 8th on this blog. This activity is worth 3 points and you must participate to earn those points, as well as possible bonus points.


REMINDERS: We have several more presentations tomorrow (Tues. 4/28), and the clock is ticking on several people who have not yet turned in your papers. You've already lost at least 3 points, and 4 points if you turn them in tomorrow. And you will lose another 10 points if you don't show to present your paper to the class tomorrow.

Check out the previous blog post (April 24th) in which I commented on the family activity on Chapters 9 & 10.

Finally, don't forget the final short essay on Chapter 19 and the Ahrens' lecture notes which is due next Tuesday, May 5th.
