FINAL EXAM-O-RAMA:
ONE-STOP SHOPPING FOR ALL YOUR MASSCOMM FINAL NEEDS
THE EXAM
Time and Date of Final: Monday, the 19th of April,
at 8am. Ouch.
Location of Final: TBA, probably 120 Lawrence.
The Exam: approximately 70 questions, including one extra
credit question. Multiple choice, matching, true-false. Like
your quizzes but not the same questions.
You may bring and use both sides of a single (one layer)
8.5"x11" "crib sheet." The entire sheet
must be in your handwriting, and you will turn it in with your
exam.
NOTE: your crib sheet may be used for artistic or pedagogical
purposes. If you would prefer that we destroy it after we turn
in your grade, write "OPT OUT" next to your name.
NO CELLPHONES, PALMTOPS, OR ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION DEVICES
(BESIDES PENCILS) WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE FINAL.
If you need special accommodations or have a conflict with
another final, you MUST notify me by April 14th.
FINAL EXAM REVIEW
Time and Date: last day of lecture
Bring: Your questions about course material. Also bring your
notes, your readings, and a test taking tip to share. Understand
that the review is for your benefit and that it is student-driven.
Though I will say a few things at the beginning, this will
not be an attempt on my part to cram the entire semester's
content into a one hour lecture. The more you'll participate
the more you'll get out of it.

Paper Writing Tips
If you're wondering how to find out who owns whom for your paper,
you can go to a page maintained by the Columbia Journalism Review
at http://www.cjr.org/owners/ .
This list is not exhaustive, and it's a little out of date, but
it's useful.
Here are some more resources on corporate ownership for your
papers:
The Directory of Corporate Affiliations is available
in print at both the business and Hillman Libraries in the reference
sections.
Directory of Corporate Affiliations
BUSINESS LIBRARY - Reference (HG4057 A219 )
HILLMAN LIBRARY - Reference (HG4057 A219)
America's Corporate Families BUSINESS LIBRARY -
Reference (HG4057 A147)
There is also a guide to print and electronic resources on business
research put together by the business librarians. It is available
at: Business Research http://www.library.pitt.edu/research/guides/business
This may help you to find out who owns whom, if you're after
that information. Please do keep in mind, though, that the goal
of the paper is for you to explain how people make money
as your artifact is produced, promoted, distributed, and consumed.
A list of names won't get you where you want to be.
