wordinistaWell, my super-productive day appears to have finally hit the wall. I'm beat. But I did manage to get the Comp II final done and sent off to the printers (whee! email!).
Now I have to work on the Brit Lit final. Hmm. I'm too tired to work on it tonight, but I'm having a hard time trying to decide what KIND of final it should be. I'm tempted to make it all essay questions, based loosely on the discussion questions I had assigned them throughout the course of the semester. Last time I taught this class, the final was ALL identification, and people did REALLY BADLY on it.
I seem to recall having essay exams in my lit classes, and I lived to tell the tale. Okay, so it's not as easy to grade as a conventional test, but this is a REALLY small class, so grading essays qon't be that much of a pain.
...But how many essay questions should there be in a final exam? Five? Ten? It shouldn't take them more than two hours to complete. *taps chin*
I know I want to test them on the following works:
Pride and Prejudice
A Defence of Poetry
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
Kubla Khan
We Are Seven
Assorted Byron poems
Goblin Market
Maybe one question per work? Is that too much? I'm so bad at judging how much is TOO much. I mean, that identification test that I gave last time around seemed SO EASY to me.
Ugh. Headache. I'll ponder this more tomorrow.
