Final Exam

I wanted to give you an idea of what to expect in regards to the Final Exam.

I just wanted to give you an idea of what to expect on the Final Exam.

The Final Exam will be a combination of True/False, Multiple Answer, Multiple Choice, Fill-in-the-blank(s), and Matching questions.

I'm still in the process of creating the exam.  However, I expect it to be between 60 to 75 questions and you will have somewhere between an hour or an hour and fifteen minutes to take the exam.

To do well on the exam, you will need to know the films well, understand the characteristics and causes leading to the French New Wave, know the directors, the themes of the films, important scenes, characters, dialogue, plots, cinematography, etc.  While your textbook covers many different films, the exam will focus on those films we watched in the class.  

The exam is open book; however, given the time pressure involved, you will not have much time to look for answers.  So be sure to study for the exam and to prepare your own study guide. Given the time limitation, it is much easier to refer to your study guide than to try and search through the text.

Good luck!
