Study Guide for the Final Exam
PS2720: European Democracies
Updated: December 5, 2017
Unlike the midterm, the final exam will consist of essay and multiple choice questions. These questions
will be designed to test your knowledge of the definitions and implications of the major concepts we
have covered in the class. The ideal answer will first describe these major concepts (such as electoral
systems) and then provide an informed discussion about the potential implications of them. The answers
should be long enough to contain detailed information about the characteristics and implications of major
concepts. Although I encourage you to provide your own opinion when possible, it is important to note
that the ideal answer will rely heavily on the readings and slides (rather than personal opinions). There
will be five essay questions and you will be asked to answer two of them (each question is worth
35 points). Six multiple choice questions will be worth 30 points (5 points each). The bonus points
you have received will be added to your final exam grade. As always, feel free to contact me (at
tmypqf@mail.missouri.edu) with any questions or concerns that you may have.
