directing texts in essay/creative question (1 Viewer)

[Rahul]

do they specify a particular text in the essay or even creative response, or are they up to the student all the times?

 

[chip]

i think they can specify but most of the time they let you pick

 

[Rahul]

i hope they dont specify the shipping news for me, i am going to prepare my other two texts

They cannot specify.. e.g. in the Individual and Society module, you only have to study 3 of the 5 texts set for study... so they can't say that you must refer to A Dolls House because you might not have studied that!!!!

 

[Rahul]

oh yes, that is the case for all modules!

haha, thats good news for me

 

[Bolkonski]

they are not totally demonic.. just a little..

is it just me or are the responses on the standards packages really lame and easy to match? and yet our teachers mark our stuff way harder (it seems)...

i saw once
some shit bout using specific characters from a text in crime fiction genre

 

[FadeToBlack]

My teacher reckons they can specify
ie i do Crime Fiction, and she said they could ask you to refer to your prose fiction text
So not neccessarily a particular text, but a text type which you would have had to study
Can anyone verify/disprove this?

they can specify just rarley do it
EG with reference to Alistar Mcleod's Island OR Seamus Heaney's Punishment or the Castle or Section in Shipping news or Section in Bone people comment on.......

 

[Rahul]

ok, but do you think using 2 texts out of the three will be enough.
i want to prepare only 2 texts, thats what is worrying me

 

[Hollie]

the problem with ext eng (as my teacher continues to remind me) is that they can ask for anything...they can be as nasty as they want 2 be! we must be prepared for any situation! lol

yeh i'd say know two in heaps of detail and then just know another one that you can talk about if you really have to
