Sturm/Fall 2017/ANT 302
First Examination Review
The exam will consist of forty multiple-choice questions. You will take the exam
online, during regularly scheduled class time, so there is no need to come to a
different location on campus or to have a blue book. To adequately prepare, you
should have read ALL the assigned class material and viewed all lectures. The
following key terms should help you focus your studying and should be
reviewed and identified in preparation for the exam. Reviewing the questions
from the textbook will also help remind you of the material covered in the
textbook. Also, read through your lecture notes. The exam will draw questions
from lecture, the textbook and other assigned readings and films, in that order.
Good luck!
