Study Questions for Fall 2007
Material assigned for your reading in
the textbooks, electronic reserve, handouts, or on a
webpage,
or any material we discuss in lecture--these will all be
fair game for the mid-term and final examinations. However,
as
and if time permits, I will
hastily post more specific study questions. This material
will help
you review for examinations, and they allow you to double-check
that you actually understand what you are reading. In
English
201, I will often draw material for pop quizzes from these
study questions and from the weekly vocabulary lists.
Remember
that each week's vocabulary
listed in the syllabus is available in alphabetical
order on the class website. NB: because
of the haste with which these materials are posted after
lectures, typos might persist. Don't let any such mistakes
confuse you. You can find materials for English
201, some English
301 materials, English 328 materials, English
362 materials, and English
451 materials below.
