The final is set for April 20th, from 9:00 until 12:00, in room CE-261 (that's the big classroom in the corridor off of the Great Hall). I have two other times available, both on the 10th: 9:00 until 12:00, and 2:00 until 5:00. You must let me know by April 9th if you want to write in one of these time periods.
Follow this link to a pdf of a cheat sheet: it explains the format and gives you guidelines for how to study, but (oh, how can I reiterate this enough) it is not a substitute for regular attendance and doing the readings.
And here's even more basic guidelines:
- write in pen (blue or black) if possible: I don't read things you cross out, so you don't need to erase anything, so you don't need pencil, so there;
- double space, unless your writing is particularly neat: I will do something good for the environment later to compensate, I promise;
- bring extra pens;
- bring cough suppressants that aren't in crinkly packaging;
- bring a bottle of water;
- be on time;
- pee beforehand.
As a general rule, people can be late, but no one is allowed in after the first person leaves.
Lastly, you may bring a translation dictionary, but you should remember that for definition questions you are expected to provide an explanation of how a folklorist uses the term. (That is to say, they will help for the essay component, but not really for the short answer component.)
