I believe according to the Mid-termAdvice.doc Tiles emailed us last week, the video questions are going to be a long answer question:
Information on the mid-term that appears on <300Wks5-8.doc> for the test day was taken from last year’s review sheet and reads:
Thursday March 4 (date should have been March 5): First Mid-term: Five definitions (choice of 6), 15 points; three short-answers (choice of 6), 42 points; two long answers (choice of 6), 42 points. Allow yourself 10 minutes for the definitions, 30 minutes for the short-answer questions and 30 minutes for the long answer questions.
The following elaborates and modifies this:
The six definitions and six short-answer questions will come off the combined first and second sections of the two review sheets. Each long-answer question will be chosen from different lists of three. The first three will come from the combined third sections of the two review sheets. The second list of three will come from the list of 10 questions that relate to video material shown in class. That list appears below.
With that understood, the format and advice for March 5 now reads:
Five definitions (from a choice of 6), 15 points; (2 minutes each, total of 10 minutes) Three short-answers (from choice of 6), 35 points; (8 minutes each total of 24 minutes) One longer answer (from choice of 3 from review sheets), 28 points. (20 minutes) Second longer answer (from choice of 3 video question), 21 points (15 minutes) (There are six minutes in that schedule, which you can use to collect your thoughts at whatever point it may be necessary to do so.)
1. What is it to believe in market forces? 2 Although the way sub-prime credit was marketed and repackaged was legal, should those who engaged in it had moral scruples and refrained from doing what they did? 3. Do credit markets need to be regulated to protect the vulnerable? 4. What, if any, responsibilities do businesses have either to their suppliers or their competitors? 5. Should businesses be free to act politically to prevent their industries as a whole from being made to internalize costs? 6. Are businesses under a moral (where there is no legal) obligation to report matters of occupational health and safety honestly? 7. Should those in employment be guaranteed a “living wage”? 8. Should businesses make political contributions expecting the sort of quid pro quo commonly known as “earmarks”? 9. Should Internet provision be treated as a public good and provided, where needed, as a public utility or should it be left entirely to the private sector to provide? 10. Are there businesses, which should be insulated from the performance pressures that the market in equities (a.k.a. Wall Street) put on them?
one long answer from a choice of 3 of the 10 on the study guide. 21 points.
