  1. Thought for the day:

    Actual life is full of false clues and sign-posts that lead nowhere. With infinite effort we nerve ourselves for a crisis that never comes. The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared but that of the man who has prepared and is never taken.

    —E.M. Forster, Howards End (1910), ch. 12 (see this quote with slightly more context)

  2. Administrative matters:
  3. Group-generated review:

    The items below should not be taken as a comprehensive study guide: they were simply what both sections managed to develop during twenty-five minutes each of open review time. In all cases, there are many items that could conceivably be added to each list, and some items that appear under certain headings below could just as well appear under other headings — and so the lists should be regarded as incomplete. However, it is my hope that you find this list helpful as you begin to review for the exam.

    You may also want to take another look at the group-generated list of detective conventions that appeared in the section notes for week 6.

  4. Evaluations! I would love specific, honest, detailed feedback!
