Click on these two links for a list of items I gave previous classes for the final review.
- Final 2305.
- Final 2306.
The questions won't be exactly the same, but if you're well versed in this material you should do well on the final. Also remember to review the previous quiz questions - you might see a few on the final.
Lecture students will also see a handful of current event questions largely based on what we've covered either in class, or I posted on this site. Online students will not see these questions. You should review what I've posted going back to January of this year. I won't ask questions with tremendous detail - so don't get lost in this stuff, but do have a general idea of what's been going on this year.
Here are a few hints about what types events of questions I might ask:
2305
- Who has and has not announced that they will run for president?
- Who are the most and least competitive candidates?
- The current stage of the federal budgetary process.
- The conflict over President Obama's executive order on immigration.
- The Keystone Veto
- The Republican Senator's letter to the Iranian leadership
- The Freedom Caucus
- Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans
- What is a natural born citizen?
- The impact of money in the upcoming election
- Factions within the Republican Party
- Voter turnout in the United States
- Employment Division v Smith
- The Iranian Nuclear Deal
2306
- What topics are dominating the 84th Session of the Texas Legislature?
- What is not dominating the current session?
- The "pick a pal" grand jury system.
- The conflict between the state of Texas and local governments.
- The governor's emergency items
- Judicial elections
- The Texas budget
- The conflict over the Religious Freedom Restoration Act
- The Texas Sunset Commission
- Criminal Justice Reform
- Debt in Texas
Consider this a start - more could be added to this, but the test will likely be finished at the end of this week, so nothing that happens after this week will be on the test.
