Family Activity: Final Exam Questions

For our final family activity I am going to give you an opportunity to make up some questions for the final exam from the latter half of the course. This is basically the same thing we did before the midterm exam. Each family will make up and submit THREE short-answer questions from material we've covered since the midterm, which means anything from March 20th on, or starting with Chapter 25 in the book, Affluenza. So this would include: the video, "The Overspent American," and my commentary on the book of the same title; "Advertising and the End of the World" (OTHER THAN the questions I have already accepted from three of the families); our brief coverage of Consumed; and finally, class lectures on The Cheating Culture.This is worth 5 activity points. I will try to accept at least one question from each family, and will award one bonus point for each additional question I accept. YOU MUST COME TO SOME AGREEMENT ON JUST THREE QUESTIONS, IF YOU SUBMIT ANY MORE THAN THAT I WILL SIMPLY IGNORE THOSE. We may squeeze in some class time next week for this, depending on how the presentations go, but I would suggest you individually make up a few questions and confer with family members outside of class. The deadline for submitting these questions (and answers) to me will be TUESDAY, MAY 6TH.

See you tomorrow,and don't forget essay III is due. We'll also set up some sort of schedule for your BRIEF presentations of your papers.
