Ode on a Grecian URL

Hi, all! I want to echo what Prof. Ortiz-Robles suggested in lecture this afternoon: the best way to study for this exam is in pairs or in small groups. It's not nearly enough to read through the questions and think out loud about your answers; the way to do well on this exam is to (a) prepare as wide a range of answers as possible, and to (b) actually write through one or two of those answers. The more you actually write about the texts, the more concrete and sophisticated your arguments will become.

There will also be a few opportunities this week to review for the final in the company of a TA:

1. This Thursday (12/14) from 6 to 7:30 pm, my fellow TA Emily will be leading a review jam in Helen C. White 7191. She asks you to bring the following:
   • Your exam instructions and essay questions
   • Questions you have regarding the exam (please keep in mind that there are certain questions that I cannot answer)
   • The usual accoutrements for working/studying in class
   • snacks (optional)
2. 15 minutes of discussion this Friday will be dedicated to answering questions you have about the final exam; this can include working through what a good outline or thesis would be for an exam essay.
3. This coming Saturday, I will be in my office for a few hours to answer questions or guide study.
