Okay, the results should have gone up by now. I have a few things to say:
The Paper
On the one hand, I apologise for the layout of the exam: I thought you would have answer books with lined paper to write in. On the other hand, I think it should have been obvious to you to use the other side of the paper to write your essays and I think a lot of you would have done better if you had written more and used the back of the answer sheets instead of only the small area on the front.
The Poem
The poem was a difficult poem: I wanted to choose a poem that was very open to your own ideas. A lot of you lost marks in the exam on the poem because you did not answer it effectively. I will explain the poem a bit more in the next few days when I have more time to write a long explanation.
Having said that, one or two of you wrote fantastically on the poem and made me change my mind about it!
Feedback
If you want to talk about your exam or how you did you can make an appointment with me to come to my apartment on Campus. I will be in Yanjiao all through the holiday, except I'll be in South Korea between 18th and the 26th.
Failed Exam
If you did not pass the course, there will be a make-up exam that you will have to take. I'm not sure of the details yet but I will put up any information I get from the English Department.
