A7) Final Exam v550 Spring 2025

Final Exam (15% of course grade)

 The final exam is a comprehensive open book/note exam cumulatively covering all previous course modules. The exam should integrate the material covered in the course. You will have 48 hours to complete the exam due on the dates listed in the syllabus; you can choose which 48-hour period within the window to complete the exam. The exam will include essay questions or a short policy memo, and will require you to synthesize and analytically reflect upon the course readings, discussions, and casework. Each student will select a 48-hour period during days before the due date when she or he can sit for the exam. You will download the exam and will need to upload your completed responses within 48 hours. One way to consider preparing for the exam is to study your notes of the readings, discussion recaps, and group discussion leader posts and summaries. The final exam is due at the latest by 11:00 pm ET on Friday, May 9, or 48 hours from the time it is opened and started on Canvas. You can begin writing the exam anytime starting from Friday, May 2, at 5 pm. 

NOTE: Canvas won't let me set the due dates for May 9 since it is after the course's official end. If you are trying to turn in your final on May 9, just email it to me.
