1st for the 1st year

[changeling67]

Ignore the sardonic lyrics - I play this every year when my results are in.


Transactional Writing - 70% (pleased with this one, might have been let down slightly by the travel piece).

What is Theory? - 70% (now that pleasantly surprises me; I presume I did better on the Jane Eyre rewrite and I must've aced Brave New World).

Creative Writing - 72% (very pleased).

Sense of Place - 72% (both Passage to India and Nineteen Eighty-Four went well).

Identity and Nationhoood - 70% (really surprised at this one, the John Harris/Arthur Caddick  was ok, but I really thought I had trashed the last IN3. It was about literature/political purpose and I went waaaay out on a limb for this one, using media and modern-day satire, citing the TV satire and even the use of Huffpost and the irreverence of Newsthump.  Whereas I think the examiner wanted evidence in literature history.  Paid off though - I argued the toss about progression, might not gamble quiet that high in the future).

Introduction to Literature - 67% (Goddammit, must have fell back on Donne and his extended metaphors or maybe the parallels between Wordsworth and T.S Eliot was 'a bridge too far').


Credits Achieved at this stage - 120
Overall aggregate mark - 70.17%

Therefore, my measly 10% have managed to scrape a first for the first year !!! Wooohooooooooooooooo!!!!

*does a happy dance*

Onward to the FdA English Studies Year 2 :-DDDDD

OOh lovely. Good solid marks. It's a bit scary if you get too high a score cos it feels like a flash in the pan, and well. we won't mention the nonos. But Truly this is a very NICE solid score. You must really pat yourself on your back. Let us know what you have to do for next term!!!!

Seriously, I'm interested in THIS years - what are the questions like now? Mine weren't half as complicated I don't think in the Old Days. What is 'transactional' writing? Ads for headhunting? They are very 'creative'... can't understand a word they say...

If you can... is there a link to your question papers anywhere?
Seriously. I need something to keep me Working!

Not if it s too much trouble!!! It's just that - questions are so different now? I've no IDEA what they ask you to do with your Lit!!

Sorry it's a bit cheeky to ask. But I don't know where else to nosey! teehee. Got a sort of enquiring mind I have...
