Just a reminder that you should have completed all four literary study plans AND have revised them, as you will be answering one of them under FULL EXAM CONDITIONS (I’m writing in capital letters, so you know this is serious). I will also be asking to see all four plans to ensure you’ve done them.
Any questions before then, let me know.
Example essay for you to peruse – this got 16 out of 20.
Hi folks,
Have plans completed for the following questions for Thursday 26th April – you’ll write one of them under FULL EXAM CONDITIONS then.
The three stage structure we discussed is below:
Folks, I will be in for the double period this afternoon, in case you weren’t aware. I’d like to discuss folios, as well as areas of concern re revision for lit. study and textual analysis.
Folks, please bring your USBs with your dissertations and folio work on them. We are booked into computer rooms this week to work on them.
These are also available for collection.
Folks, the latest drafts of your dissertations will be available to collect from me tomorrow. Please ensure you come by as soon as possible, as your next (and final) draft will be due in next Monday 29th January.
On the whole, it is becoming clear that some of you are simply not taking care to check over your work or pay attention to previous feedback. At this stage, I should only have to give very general comments – I find that is not the case for the majority of you. This work is your responsibility, not mine. If you don’t take the time and effort to improve, you will simply be throwing away 30% of your overall mark.
I will discuss individual feedback with you when you come in to collect your work.
I was impressed by these, guys. Use them to aid your revision for Monday.
