The exam will be from 12-2pm on 14 Dec. (Tuesday), in our regular class-room. The exam will be multiple choice (50-100 questions). You will have two hours to finish it. It will be comprehensive, but half the content will focus on material since the last test. Questions will take the following form:

1) The ideology behind Liberty (Exceptionalism), according to McDougall, called on the newly independent colonies to:

1. be a light to lighten the world, but not to anything special in foreign affairs
2. liberate the Latin American colonies from the Spanish yoke and drive France from the Continent.
3. make the world safe for democracy, human rights, ice cream, and puppies.

Bring a #2 pencil to the class to fill out the answers on the “General Purpose NCS Answer Sheet” (oh, fun!) that I will provide. In addition to your name, you will also need to fill in your student ID # (these are the middle 9 digits on your ISU card; you may use your Social Security # if you wish).

The purpose of the test is to evaluate how well you have understood the readings and lecture. Below is a list of concepts and topics that you should know.  This is not a promise that only these concepts will be on the test.  This is a guide, not a set of advance questions.  You should be familiar with the arguments and key examples that the authors make and use.

If you do not know what one of these terms means, you should look it up in the book’s index or search for it on the course webpage or slides.
