Please start studying for the final exam now! We cover so much material in a semester -- a single study session the night before the final will just not be enough to ensure a good score.

3. The final covers all material through the Irish Famine.
4. The French Revolution was a complex event involving Enlightenment ideology, new economic trends and colliding class interests. The overthrow of the old order freed France from an incompetent and out-of-touch monarchy, but French intellectuals continued to debate how best to organize government, the economy and society. Viewpoints across the spectrum from radical to reactionary were applied to issues such as the role of women, education (who should provide it and who should get it), the role of the church, the role of government in the economy, colonialism, slavery, etc. Consider the different opinions that various Frenchmen - radicals, bourgeois liberals, conservatives - might have held on subjects such as these.

Reminder: there are no block days next week, or during the week after final exams.
