College: Intro Lit 2 result
70% !
Wheeeeee!
I got 70% in the exam!
I *like* exams. Exams are good. Yay exams.
... er, sorry y'all who are still sitting them.
Teach said I had a good grasp of the linguistics. Which is good because I hasn't before. Also she liked the essay structure, which is always a relief when you write a timed one. And the conclusion was good, which is yaays because obviously the conclusion is the thing you do when you've done one hour fifty five minutes of an exam and go arrrgh conclusion *typetypetype*. So it's nice when it works.
I managed six pages in two hours. Nice.
Lots of comments in the margins and a pointer to an essay that is relevant.
Also teach says I should study poetry some more later on.
It's nice when teachers want to keep you.
... I don't think poems are really my thing, but I did gain some from studying. I learned the vocab list for close reading and gained skills in close reading like the learning outcomes list says. And I gained a greater appreciation for structure and how it works with the argument of a piece. Those things will apply other places too.
Things to still work on: Sentence structure, which is choppy, paragraphs, which get shorter towards the end of the two hours, and a tendency to use the - pretty much at random throughout the essay. I think because when you do bubble diagrams you put a linky line between things so clearly a - connects things together just like that. Except, you know, mostly only in my head.
... 70% !
yaaaaaays!
Of course once the other essay and the weighting go in I'm back to my usual 60ish, but in this particular exam I did real good. Plus I got my highest mark for the year at the end of the year, which I can hope indicates some solid progress. Wins!
