The midterm for ENGL 343 is this Wednesday, in class.
It will run from 12.05 - 12.45 (40 minutes), and is worth 20% of your course grade.
You will be given FOUR short passages from texts that we have discussed and read thus far, and you will be asked to write a paragraph or so on each passage.
The passages will be labelled with the name of the text that they are drawn from.
You should point out aspects of literary, historical, and/or cultural interest, and comment on the importance of the passage to the that that it taken from. You may also wish to mention or discuss how the passage refers to or intersects with other parts of the larger text. You may answer in bullet point form or in paragraph form.
As you will have worked out, you have 10 minutes per passage. This should be a reasonable amount of time to make a number of compelling points and / or observations.
The midterm is closed book. Just you, a pen, and your insightful minds.
Best wishes,
Dr Rouse
