Assessment
40% Written Exam
The written exam will contain two essay questions. The first question utilises an unseen poem that the student will be asked to explain and analyse. The second question will offer the student a choice between questions on the text studied throughout the course.
40% Group Presentation
Students will be expected to present a text studied in the course as well as answer questions from an audience of fellow students. Groups will consist of 3-4 students. In most cases, the group will receive one mark that will apply to each student. However, should it become apparent that a student has performed markedly better or worse than his/her colleagues during a presentation, an individual mark will be awarded.
20% Classroom Performance
This mark includes attendance records, the quality of homework and classwork assignments and general understanding, comprehension and involvement in classes.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is when you copy someone’s work or thought and present it as your own
the language of terror is dedicated to an endless expense, even though it only seeks to achieve a single effect
Michel Foucault
This is Plagiarism!
Frankenstein is dedicated to an endless expense, even though it only seeks to achieve a single effect.
Frankenstein uses the language of terror, which is dedicated to an endless expensive even though it only seeks to achieve a single effect.
I think the language of Frankenstein is excessive and exaggerated because the text only wants to build up to one heightened effect.
Avoiding Plagiarism
Michel Foucault once said ‘the language of terror is dedicated to an endless expense, even though it only seeks to achieve a single effect’, and we can see this in Frankenstein because…
Frankenstein follows a similar pattern of other terror and gothic novels that seek to build to a heightened conclusion.
Objectivity
They fuck you up, your mum and dad
They may not mean to, but they do
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra just for you
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old style hats and coats
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one anothers throats.
What I don’t want: It makes me feel bad because it has swearing/bad words.
What I want:The use of taboo language mixed with images of childhood innocence is designed to cause a sense of discomfort in the reader.
The Ambassadors (A Painting)
This painting hangs in the National Gallery, London. It is a huge painting and there is a spot to the right of the painting that is marked ‘Stand here’. Visitors standing in the spot can clearly see the elongated skull at the bottom of the painting. It reminds people that to see everything about a work of art, you need to look from different point of views.
Discussion
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away
Whose story is this?
