Exam ID's

Well, it looks as though the first midterm is just around the corner. Dr. Weber would like each of you to e-mail me 1 to 3 possible ID's. Remember, Abraham Lincoln is not a useable ID. They have to be reasonably useable. If Dr. Weber feels that you were too "easy" on your ID choices, then she will disregard them and choose all the ID's herself. In that scenario, the exam will be harder than you may wish.

You only have to e-mail me the name of the ID, but remember that it should have 2 What's and 1 Why.

Please e-mail them to me by 9pm Sunday.
