mebfeath*frantically studies for exam*
History exam Thursday. Duuuuuude.
I'm hoping I should be all good. The first two sections are fairly easy; hopefully I should get most of them right, so that's 35% done. The third section should be interesting; not as easy, but not too hard - that's 25%. The fourth section is hard on the practice/past exams - answer a pretty in-depth question as much as you can. Questions like - "Is democracy on the rise in contemporary Southeast Asia? Is so, why? If not, why not? Refer to at least two Southeast Asian cases in your answer..." and "Why has the military been so prominent in the national politics of many Southeast Asian states over the last half-century or so? Refer to at least two cases in your answer..." and "Lieberman has recently remarked that “if we posit a Southeast Asian historiography whose polar dynamics are external maritime influences and indigenous cultural forces, Reid shifted the balance away from the latter and back toward the former—in a move that reversed the “autonomous” shift that began in the 1960s”. What might it mean to write an “autonomous” history of Southeast Asia? Is it possible to do so?" It's worth 40%. And you can only choose one from a total of seven.
Eeeek.

Good luck!
