STUDY GUIDE FOR FALL 2011 FIRST EXAM READINGS QUESTIONS

NOTE: The only readings covered on the first exam are the three chapters from the Moran book from the WMU Library online Course Reserves system (pp. 23-67 are the page numbers for the three chapters). There are three separate files (one for each chapter) on the Course Reserves system that should be read for the first exam. The rest of the readings on the Amazon will be covered on Exam #2.

This is a list of potential terms and major points from the readings that were not covered in lecture, but that could be used for making up the approximately 2-3 questions on the exam based solely on the readings. For each of the terms and major points listed below for each reading, the best strategy is to write out the entire definition or summarize the major point from each section listed in a sentence or two, and then study this list just as you would study the lecture notes. Good luck!

Moran, Emilio "Developing the Amazon"
