Reflection paper is finished. Now we can concentrate on our first exam which will be on March 7th. There will be 25 multiple-choice questions and 25 vocabulary/identification. You may use your book and class notes, but I strongly suggest you organize yourself very, very well else you'll spend the hour flipping pages.

The first three chapters of the book, your class notes and the worksheet from Age of Hope will be on the test. I will put up some practice questions over the weekend.
