ENG 2601 Introduction to English and American Literature (October 2018)
| eng_2601_final_scores.xlsx |
Congratulations to Amavasi and Bess who both got 25/25 on the final exam. A few other students got 24 (well done too). There were indeed two correct answers to question 2 (two legs bad, and two legs better)
IMPORTANT - a student pointed out that "7. Who was behind the propaganda?" could also be answered correctly with Napolean as well as Squealer (my intended answer) because technically Napolean may have been behind the propaganda that Squealer was actively fronting. So if you were 1 mark off a higher grade and you answered "B. Napolean", please contact me and I will upgrade your score
I read some of the feedback for the course, and one or two students said I was unprepared for the course and that I did not have the correct information. I thought this was a good course, but I am open to suggestions if you think I was not knowledgeable enough in certain areas. I will appreciate knowing what you would like to know more about for future courses. I thought it was a fairly good overview of literature linked to politics, war, human suffering etc as well as more modern literature with some good discussion. But I am always keen to improve so please let me know which areas I am weak.
