All-Natural Relaxant for Final Exam Anxiety

To quiet any unnecessary anxieties regarding the final exam, I will tell you here that it will be an entirely fair examination - no surprises. It is designed so that if you came to the lectures, participated in the tutorials, read the course material attentatively, and reviewed the material in advance of the exam date, you will have no undue problems at all.

In all sections of the exam you will be able to select from a number of choices. There will be a section on literary terminology; another naming the title & author of a passage and briefly commenting on its significance to the work from which it is excerpted in light of lecture material; and, of course, an essay section which will simply require you to discuss relationships between specfic works of fiction and themes (not specific material) from the blogosphere.

If this doesn't cause you to relax and take great joy from the remainder of the course, simply come to see me in my office hours where we can discuss my deservedly renown "Dr. Ogden's Six Specific Student Strategies for Successful Final Examinations."
