Final Exam Review Part II

Dear Students,

Please follow this link for a PDF of the the second part (actually, both Parts I & II are in the present file) of your final exam review. The original PowerPoint file is available here.

A reminder that items in CAPS indicate works of art that you are expected to recognize--i.e., be able to select the title/artist from a list of three or four-- and of whose importance you are expected to be aware. Musical works are indicated so as to assist you in cross-referencing ideas/figures in the textbook with examples on the companion CD.

Warm regards,

Dr. Butcher
