All of you got a bonus depending on your performance and the feedback I got from your group members. Most of you got heart-warming praises and compliments from your group members!

I actually enjoyed grading your practical test more than the theoretical part! It was quite interesting to read because many of you came out with brilliant ideas and wrote well. Unlike the theoretical part where there was no originality in most of the answers, the practical part was full of creative original answers that were very good. I hope that you will write as well on your final inshaaAllah! Some of you actually did better on the practical part!

GOOD JOB!

Unfortunately, many of you still don't know your numbers. You need to write your number on the final or you will lose a mark. I will provide a list of names with the numbers on the day of the final-make sure you write your number on your test paper. If you do not know your grade and would like to know it, I will try to respond to requests from group leaders.
For those of you have not taken the mid-term and I accepted your medical excuse, the make-up will be after the final. Please contact me for details.
For those of you who had a complete attendance, one bonus mark was added.

Now, a few remarks:

Make sure you begin your sentences with CAPITAL letters.

Make sure you don't use adjectives for nouns and nouns for adjectives.
Eg.
This place was full of joy, happiness, and 'innocent'.
Innocent---innocence

The house is full of 'silent'
Either say a 'silent house' or 'silence' fills the house.

Be careful not to confuse between homophones:
Their/there

Use the present simple.

Some students forgot to write the 'why part'. Don't forget to write about ALL the three parts: WHAT, HOW, and WHY.
In the why part don't explain. Simply give your reasons why you think the poet wrote this poem. What does he want to say to the world. What is his world-view? What is your personal response to the poem etc.

Don't repeat yourself.Don't repeat yourself.Don't repeat yourself :)
The theme should not be a repetition of the summary:
Eg.
Summary: In the Open Window the speaker speaks about an old, silent house surrounded y no one and that man lives in isolation.
Theme: Is about a man who lives in an old house who lives in isolation and is eager to live among people.

In this case:
1.The student has just repeated herself.
2. She shouldn't have mentioned isolation in the summary.
3. In the theme, she should have concentrated simply on the idea of isolation without needing to repeat the description of the man and the house.

Example 2:
This student wrote:
Theme: "This poem talks about a lonely child who doesn't have any friends."
That is a SUMMARY and NOT a theme. She should have written:
"The poem explores the theme of loneliness ....."

Example 3:
Student: "The poem is about someone he misses."
Correction: When you write the theme, remember you're not going to mention the people/animals/ objects etc. but the IDEAS or FEELINGS the poet is trying to express. She should have written:
"The poem is about the pain involved in missing loved ones."
Or
"The poem is about the sadness created by losing loved ones."
In this way we have given emphasis to 'pain' and 'sadness' rather than 'someone'.

Pay attention to the poet's name! Many of you wrote Wordsworth instead of Henry Wadsforth Longfellow. Either use the full name or just the last name.

Some of you such as Afnan Al-Dahsh, Fawzia Al-Malki, Iman Al-Mudarae,Ghada Al-Haboob, Dalal A Al-Qahtani, Lamia Al-Tolyan, Sarah Al-Tamimi and many others, write very neatly and beautifully. I would like to sincerely thank all of you who tried to be as neat as possible. THANK YOU!

Others have made the process of checking extremely difficult and time-consuming!

Please stick to the space provided. If you write too much, it means you don't know the exact answer and are simply writing everything you know. Writing everything you know makes you lose marks because it shows you have memorized (the tape-recorded lectures) rather than understand the subject and hence are unable to figure out what is required.

Also, if I provide 3 lines please don't make those 3 into 9 tiny microscopic lines by dividing them and writing in tiny illegible handwriting.
If you start writing with a pencil, make sure you erase the writing afterwards. It is very impolite and inconsiderate to force the reader to make out what you have written. On the final, if I can not read it, it's your loss.

Please study well. I hope to see well written ORIGINAL answers from all of you. The final will consist of three parts:

Part 1 Practical criticism (unseen)
Part 2 Short notes on everything in class+the critical background for Sidney and Dryden
Part 3 short answers (very brief) on everything

Put your trust and faith in Allah, concentrate and I am sure you will do well inshaaAllah!

Please note that as per your request, i have attached a PDF file of the last two lectures on Dryden.

Finally, it was a pleasure teaching all of you. Thank you for all the wonderful motivating comments! I wish you luck and success both on your test and in your life.

والحمد لله رب العالمين وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه

أجمعين

هذا ما عندي فإن أحسنت فمن الله، وإن أسأت أو أخطأت فمن نفسي والشيطان
