Final Exam Questions    and Bluebook answers:
 
Answer 1         Answer 2         Answer 3          Answer 4          Answer 5  
  (In the bluebook answers, you'll notice the grading system Dr. Harris used of starting from an assumption of the exam scoring full points, then deducting where necessary.)
