GNED 101 Weekly Lessons

Final exam

The Final exam is worth 15 marks, it is in two parts, and it covers material we have studied since the Reading Week: Society of the Spectacle, Climate Change, Capitalism, New Economic Paradigm, and Biotech.

Part One: Multiple Choice (10 marks)

10 multiple choice questions worth 1 marks each, for a total of ten marks.

Part Two: Written Reflection (5 marks)

Answer ALL of the following. Try to write a page or two in total, at least three solid paragraphs. The two marked with * should each get a serious paragraph; the other points should be responded to, but it could be a couple of sentences each. The purpose is to show you have learned something in this class and are willing to devote some time to thinking about it.

*Think back over the lessons in this course. What is a lesson that you still remember clearly, or where you heard something new that you hadn’t known about before, or that has led to you changing your mind about something? Explain/give some details. Why do you think that lesson made an impact on you?

*What lesson or lessons did you feel were pointless or could have been done in a different way? Explain.

Do you wish there had been less lecturing and more group work or other learning experiences in this class?

GNED 101 introduces students to topics in the human sciences: sociology, history, psychology, political science, philosophy, media studies, etc. What topics related to those disciplines do you think would be useful for us to look at in the course, given where you are at in life and the state of the world and your understanding of it in the middle of the 2020s?

[Optional] Anything else you would like to tell me that might help me improve this course or my delivery of it?
