Welcome to Anthropology 100G:

Principles of Human Organization: Nonwestern Culture

Fall Semester 1999

Dr. Alexander Moore


Study Guide for the Final Exam


Reminder: the exam is on Thursday, Dec. 16, 11:00 a.m. Please be prompt.

Format: the exam consists entirely of objective questions.

Coverage: the focus is on material covered since the second mid-term. Expect a few "cumulative" questions of a general mainly conceptual sort, drawn from Chapter 2 of Cultural Anthropology. Questions reflect both the reading and the lectures. There will be greater emphasis, of course, on materials that were covered in both arenas. For example, we covered Chapter 19 in lecture, and it also links with Hamada's book. Chapter 16 links with Life Cycles in Alotenango. Note, moreover, that my lecture on my field work in Alotenango drew on the check list in Chapter 3. There will be questions on Life Cycles and on American Enterprise in Japan. Note also that the topics of nation-state and nationalism were covered only in lecture and in the film, A Wall of Silence. That film will be on reserve in Leavey Library.

Outlines of the lectures should be posted on this website by the last day of classes.

Reading reminder: the required reading covered in the exam consists of Chapters 2 (for course review), 15, 16, 17, 18, & 19 of Cultural Anthropology; of Life Cycle in Alotenango and of American Enterprise in Japan in their entirety.
