<p>Has anyone had him before? I have him right now but I have no idea how he tests the identification (ID) on mid-terms; can someone please provide a sample question? Many thanks : )</p>
<p>I had him fall quarter last year. I can’t find my blue book though, I threw it away.</p>
<p>The test was ALL free response. He only tested on key terms, he’ll throw out a term like Failure of Balancing / Failure of Deterrence and ask you to describe it and then write why this was important and what the pros and cons of each one are.</p>
<p>Make sure you know the German assaults on Versailles, I remember stuff on the first midterm from that last year.</p>
<p>He also has questions about certain views, alternate views and critiques on the views. make sure you write as much as you can to get all the points possible</p>
<p>I have him right now as well, and I’m pretty lost on this essay. Doubt the IDs tomorrow will be fun either.</p>
<p>What on earth would you write for failure of balancing/failure of deterrence? I’m assuming this was part of his power and strategy lecture, but I cant seem to find much to describe o__o</p>
<p><em>cry</em></p>
<p>Ahhh I am so lost. </p>
<p>Thanks for the reply Arctic! So basically i just have to memorize everything he said in his lecture… lol</p>
<p>To be honest, I stopped going to lecture everyday mid-way through (I was taking it P/NP tho). he posts his slides and my TA was really helpful and went over everything on the midterm during the discussion + gave us study guides.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say you have to memorize everything but focus on important stuff like causes of wars, views of wars and critiques, and any key terms he talks about in class, i cant remember if he bolds them or not. he says a lot of stuff in class that isnt tested on</p>
<p>my TA was Ben Tang, i dunno if hes still doing it or not</p>
