So long, farewell

As you probably all know, the final grades have been posted. If there are any questions or issues, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Papers can be picked up in the Hum & Lang office (HH100); please do pick them up because there are comments which may be helpful for future assignments.

I really enjoyed the class. You are a lively group and our discussions were fun. Hope to see some of you in other classes.

And thank you for your patience.

Best wishes for all of us for the coming year!

Dr. J.

Exam format

The exam is scheduled for Wed. Dec. 12, 2pm, in HH239. I have scheduled three hours but you likely won’t need all that time.
It is not fully written yet but the format should be approximately as follows, give or take:

• short answer questions (multiple choice and/or identifications)
• definitions
• short essay questions
• long essay question
• sight passage

There will be choices for most of the questions.

You may bring in one sheet of paper, 8½ x 11 inches, printed or written on one side.

If any of you prepared sample questions for class today, you could post them here in the comments. Who knows? I might use one of them … (if I do, two bonus marks on the exam to the person or people whose questions are used).

PowerPoint

presentations are now added to the Schedule. Let me know if there are any problems.

Review class today canceled

due to the weather.

I will be posting the class notes to the schedule today.

If you have any questions or concerns about the exam, drop me a line here on the blog in a comment, or via email.

I will a notice here on the blog when the assignments are marked.

It’s a shame that we are missing our final meeting. I have enjoyed the class immensely; you are a great group and lots of fun to teach. I hope I see some of you in future classes.

Tuesday

we will continue our discussion of Gulliver’s Travels. If anyone is going to F’ton to the rally and march, I will not be taking attendance and will be more than happy to meet and go over what you missed later in the week.

The schedule has been rearranged accordingly.

More bonus marks

Up to 2% added to your final grade for a review of Beowulf the movie. I would need the reviews the week after the exam.

Class cancelled on Tuesday Nov. 20

This will no doubt be crushing news, but I am canceling class on Tues. Nov. 20 because the Graduate Students’ Assn. in F’ton is having a demonstration at noon and I i) want to allow you to attend if you are able; and ii) have agreed to speak at it myself. Since we have two classes on Gulliver’s Travels, we will fold the discussion into one.

Second thing: if any of you would like to sign this letter, please drop me a line. No pressure, either to sign or to attend the demo.

See you Thursday!

Bonus marks!

To reiterate what was said in class on Tuesday: you can earn 1% extra on your final grade by attending a performance of Dracula at the Imperial this weekend (proof required: either a programme or bite marks on your neck). Earn another 1%, for a total of 2%, by writing a brief review.

Don’t say I never gave ya nothin.

FYI

Dear Dr. Jones,

The 3rd volume replacements have arrived here for your students.  There were 8 who had the misprinted copies, and we have their names here. Perhaps you could mention this in class.

Thank you and
Best regards,
Julie

For those

without the third volume of the anthology, here are etexts of “The Disappointment” and “The Imperfect Enjoyment.”

Also, I updated the schedule to reflect the new due-date of the second assignment as Nov. 13, as well as the description of the assignment to include the options from both versions, the one in the syllabus and the one on this blog.
