For a non-cumulative test, it sure covered everything from this semester.

I made it through finals week. It was a little iffy there when I got my Western Civ review sheet and learned exactly what my teacher meant by "non-cumulative". As an example , the key term section -

"You will be asked to answer a series of basic questions on a variety of key terms (key terms, that is to say, provided on previous exam guides). Note that material from previous geography and basic chronology questions may appear."

And let's not even talk about the possible questions for the longer comprehensive essay:

1) Evaluate the balance sheet of Western Civilization. In what ways do art, monuments, ideas, economy and so on tell a story of progress and achievement? In what ways and why does the story often seem "uncivilized", or one of oppression, exploitation, or regression? How do we explain that a "civilization" can be "uncivilized"? Be sure to draw your examples evenly from across the ancient, medieval, and early-modern periods!
2) Evaluate the relationships between secular power and religion across the ancient, medieval, and early-modern periods. What specific people, ideas, or events illustrate some basic things about those relationships? What about the relationships seems to have remained constant over time and what seems to have changed? Be sure to draw your examples evenly from across the ancient, medieval, and early-modern periods!

That was not what I was expecting, let me tell you. I typed out all of the notes that would be relevant to the review sheet and ideas for the essays - 23 pages. I don't want to know what a cumulative test review sheet would look like in my teacher's opinion.

I survived finals week though. :) And with good grades. It's nice to be in classes pertaining to a subject that I love.
