
There is only one class set of exams so do not write on the booklet. Write
only on your answer sheet. You may use scratch paper if necessary.

VERY IMPORTANT: You must answer all the questions. Answers left
blank cause an error when reading the answer sheets.

There are a couple of questions that you will not be able to answer because
we did not learn that specific material.

If you finish early, check your answers. Then read Howard Zinn Chapter
