Liz Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 especially the English ones, since the grade depends on the opinion of the grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 the LOATHE!!! I hate them too... which English are you taking? (Language or Lit) i'm taking english literature.... and i really think this exam is a joke. they expect us to write an essay about a novel in under 45 minutes, when it probably took MONTHS for the author to write the novel in the first place. i don't like them, but i take the exam anyways because like that i don't have to take english courses in college Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 modern analytical essays are a joke. You basically fill the entire thing with relevant quote and BS the thing, and you're guaranteed an 'A.' you actually try to analyze, and they think you don't have a clue what the prompt is. If you do what the system wants, quotes and quotes, you can easily interpret a novel in less than an hour. This reminds me, college finals are right around the corner... and a summer vacation :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 modern analytical essays are a joke. You basically fill the entire thing with relevant quote and BS the thing, and you're guaranteed an 'A.' you actually try to analyze, and they think you don't have a clue what the prompt is. Actually, I had this teacher for English during my fall freshman year, the quote would be more like this: You basically fill the entire thing with relevant quote and BS the thing, and you're guaranteed a 'C.' To get an A, you have to analyze the story so hard that it becomes a totally different story. The average grade was C+/B-. A 'B' takes a miracle. An 'A' means you have mastered the English language in all areas. She was extremely hard, but she was extrememly nice and cool with all her sex jokes....

Fireman Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 ._.Where can I meet this teacher? In 10 years, go to an insane assilum in San Francisco, and look for the old female teacher yelling at the top of her lungs and spitting out sex jokes.

The average grade was C+/B-. A 'B' takes a miracle. An 'A' means you have mastered the English language in all areas. By BS, I mean BS the thing relative to the context of the quotes. As it's analyzing, you just take quotes and make heads-and-tails of what the meaning is. If interpretive, you could pretty much destroy the original meaning altogether, as long as your interpretations were all logical and followed in succession--no contradictions or radically different ideas without a cause. That would be the definition of analyzing "the story so hard that it becomes a totally different story." I could give two examples, if you're actually interested :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 AP exams? Damn, you guys make me feel dumb. And why is it that so many girls are good at English whereas guys are good at History? I sense a pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGV Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 yeah they should've talked about strategy. I could as least think of FE characters to match some of them and make it more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is it that so many girls are good at English whereas guys are good at History? I sense a pattern. That's why they call it history and not herstory.
