[It occurs to me that it's pointless to provide a study guide for this exam.  It's a take-home exam, and I doubt anyone is going to study anything until they see what the questions are — at which point a study guide is useless.  So the material below is of purely historical value, so that I can use it in future courses if appropriate.]

This study guide is a guide, not a contract.  All the material in the text, reader, and lectures is fair game, regardless of whether it is explicitly mentioned here.  But this guide does honestly tell you what I consider most important.

As you know, the exam will be take-home.  It will be entirely essay questions. You will have a good deal of choice in the essay questions, although choice will be inversely proportional to the importance of the topic.

If you have the time and space, it is often useful to include information surrounding the core answer. Please note, however, that this does not mean a "data dump".  When you provide irrelevant information, it tells me that you don't understand the subject of the question.
