As far as studying for the comprehensive material (the material prior to the first exam), I would begin by reviewing your midterm exam and quizzes and be familiar with the articles that we have read. You will need to be able to identify key issues/important themes while studying (for example: racism, discrimination, prejudice, inequality, minority group), as this will be the type of material that will appear on the final exam. For example, you will not have to write an essay identifying Merton’s four types of discrimination, however, you may have to know that he was important for establishing a typology and the importance of the typology. I hope this example give you some insight as to how the questions for the comprehensive portion of the exam will be framed.

Good luck studying for this and all of your other finals. Remember, your final is on Thursday, August 1 @ 12-1:50 in this classroom, Quigley 206. If anyone has questions while preparing for the exam, feel free to contact me and I can answer your questions or we can schedule a time to meet and discuss problematic areas.
