Review for Quiz/Test 5: Environment (OPTIONAL)
I have listed the terms and concepts from this (brief) section below. As usual, you should be familiar with both the term/concept itself, and with the connection it has to words above and below it.
As the previous post noted, this test is optional. If you are happy with the grade you have based on the four previous tests, you do not have to take this one. If you take this one, however, it will count.
If you have any questions, let me know.

I can not find anything about the Collective Action Problems or Free Rider problems in my notes or the texts can u please help me
Do we need to know the critiques from each of the perspectives
The collective action problem (or "free rider" problem) isn't in the texts: it's something I talked about early on in this section (it's one of the first four terms defined on the first day). This refers to the problem of something a group creates where members outside the group cannot be excluded from the overall benefit (police protection; cleaner environment).
You don't need, specifically, to know the the critiques, though if you understand each perspective the critiques will be fairly obvious.
what time are you going to be in your office tomorrow?
What's the Huber Article?
What is the outline of this test, such as traditional multiple choice or multiple answer multiple choice?
Do we have to come to class today if we do not want to take the exam and do not want to fill out evaluations?
The Huber article is one of the pro-versus-con articles in the "Taking Sides" book. I don't remember which chapter it is, but it shouldn't be hard to find.
I'll be in my office from about now (8:30am) to close to 5pm, except when I'm in class, and briefly around noon to run out and get lunch.
We already did class evaluations, so you don't have to come to class today if you don't want to take the test. However, attendance still counts as part of the grade, and attendance will be taken today.
Oh, and the test is 20 single-answer multiple choice questions, and three or four short answers (I can't honestly remember).
not to bother, but just out of curiosity when will you be posting grades?
When will we know our final grades and will there be any curves:)?
