English 1102 Final info.

For your final exam in 1102, I plan to give you 3 poems that you have not previously seen (at least not in this class).  Using the questions for poetry analysis, I'll ask you to write your thoughts, ideas, etc., directly on the hand-out of the poem you choose and to write an analysis from your notes and the poem.

1. That means you won't have to study for the final, since you will not have a poem you've studied in class.
2. You will need to do real thinking that day
3. You'll be expressing your ideas in an analysis--which is what English 1102 really is all about.

AND, YES - - you can do this, even if you hate poetry with every fiber of your being.   The more you  read poetry and think about it between now and then, the better prepared you will be for the final.
