Study Guide – CMNS 110, Fall 2013
The following is a hierarchical list of concepts, theories, illustrations and questions of which you will need to have a comprehensive grasp in order to complete the midterm exam. The list is exhaustive – it’s everything we’ve covered this term thus far. If you know everything that’s here (and know where to find it in our readings and lecture slides), then you’ll have all of the answers you’ll need for this test of knowledge.
Where relevant/appropriate, I have also indicated where the readings reinforce or elaborate certain important ideas. Remember that half of the questions will directly address the required readings, so please make sure you know your way around them.
Happy studying!
