1. Use your review sheets to identify weak spots. For many of you, this involves political and social ideas, and the writers who advocated them. Go back to the list of 19th century thinkers, and check to see whether you can quickly name the main idea each of them is know for. (E.g., Bentham = utilitarianism).
2. Use your old Study Guides and handouts for a quick review of terms and concepts. Look over the Art Charts and remind yourself of the major artistic movements, artists and works. Be able tor relate them to political, social and economic trends.
