OPTIONAL FINAL EXAM - INTRODUCTORY PSYCHOLOGY
XXXXXXX 2008
There will be 100 multiple-choice questions on the optional final exam. If you get 60 or more
correct, you will pass the course with a grade of 60. (It If you get 59 or fewer correct, you will fail
the course and be given your original grade, the one that you had before this final.)
The following topics are the ones you need to have mastered for the exam. There are no terms
on this list that weren’t already on the lists of focus terms for the various units, but this list doesn’t
contain everything on the previous lists. Some topics have been left out.
The date of the final is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Please tell me by
e-mail or by phone (7715) by XXXXXXXXX if you want to take the exam, and I’ll tell you what
room it’s in. (This is so I know in advance how many students will be taking the exam.)
