Your final exam will be given in class on Tuesday, November 20. The exam will consist of two essay questions. You will be randomly assigned two of the following four questions:
- Why are cities prone to periodic fiscal crises? How can cities avoid them?
- Did Rudy Giuliani govern New York City using the principles of the New Public Management (NPM)? What can Guiliani’s tenure tell us about the overall success of NPM?
- How has federal policymaking affected American cities? Are cities hurt or helped by these policies?
- Are regional governing bodies the answer to the problems of urban governance?
(Check my posting on the mid-term exam for reminders about what I look for in exams.)
You'll have the full class period--80 minutes--to complete your exam. Please note that as with the mid-term, you are allowed to bring ONE 3x5" index card to the exam. You can write whatever you would like on this card, on either side, using however small a font as you'd like - WITHIN REASON. Do NOT try to use 5-pt font to squeeze in every possible word you can; do NOT simply try to write out your essay, and then copy it into your exam book. You will have to submit your card with your exam, and I will not give credit for answers that are chiefly copied off of your card.
Good luck!
