Mid-Term Exam - Friday, 10/17

Please remember that your mid-term exam is scheduled for next Friday. For your mid-term, you will be randomly assigned two of the following four questions:

1. How do structuralists like Peterson (and, to a lesser extent, Stone) critique the pluralist view of urban politics? Do you agree with this critique? Why or why not?
2. “Blacks have not benefited from political incorporation.” Agree or disagree with this statement.
3. What factors motivated Progressive-Era reformers to challenge political machines? What factors contributed to their success?
4. Identify the competing sides in the battles over urban renewal in the 1960s and 70s. Were those who challenged renewal correct to do so?
   

Remember also that you can bring ONE 3x5" INDEX CARD with you into the exam. (Do NOT try to take advantage of this; use the card for essay outlines.) Happy studying.
