Ok, the last video, video 18 has now made its way to YouTube. Here’s the handout that goes with it.

It’s long. Sorry. It’s an hour and a half this time, basically a class period (and a little bit) long. It’s divided into a couple of distinct topics, however. The first part covers the issue with subject wh-questions that relates to at least a couple of the problems on the last homework. Then, the issue of questions with multiple wh-words is addressed (like Who bought what?), and the last part is about islands and phases.

Given the limited time we have left, it would probably be good if you possibly could get through this before Tuesday so that if questions come up while you’re watching it you can ask them. Tuesday is pretty much the main day for talking about the phases and islands part, and then Thursday will be opened up a bit more to talk about questions that come up relating to the practice finals and the course material in general. (But if you need to watch it in two sittings and pretend it’s two videos, that’s fine with me.)

Speaking of the practice finals, I’ll be posting those soon, but separately. And I’ll double-check the summary to see if I need to add anything extra to it. I may not need to, I think I included most everything up to the phases and island discussion. But, the plan is that I’ll put a practice final or two here, with the keys, so you can try them out in advance of Thursday, and I’ll also post this extra credit project for people who want to try that out. But first, I’ll get this one posted with the video link.
