In case you're curious, this quiz was fairly average, as far as my quizzes go. Some are a bit easier; some are harder. Here are basic guidelines that may help on future assignments:
- English 1102 requires that you READ - THINK - WRITE. Read the book; don't rely on the movie for a quiz or an essay. Ever.
- Students must not only read the book, but also comprehend the book--use logic and critical thinking. You are expected to add 2+2.
- Do not waste time writing b.s. for discussion answers when you don't know what you're talking about. If you know that you're in the ballpark, think and develop your idea. If you have no idea, leave it blank, it's more dignified.
Please be aware that
my lectures may be formal OR informal. Formal lectures, given from a podium, or with powerpoint are limited. I much prefer informal lecture, which invite questions, comments, feedback from students. When I show you a clip from YouTube or seem to casually carry on a one-sided conversation, tell you about a society's expectations in 1692, it's not for my benefit. It may not seem important; you may be bored (for which I am sorry); but there is a definite connection to your reading.
Finally, a quiz is NEVER the ending study of a drama or novel in this class. It is barely the beginning. The more vital step is
analysis.
