In each paragraph, there should be a thesis so that the sentences in the paragrph used to argue that. Three pages, double space.
[The following is the template of the final exam together with some advice and suggestions. I hope you find it useful as you undertake your revision.]
ENG 1120 O Final Examination

No textbooks, notes or reference books allowed.
Read the following instructions carefully before beginning the exam.
You are required to answer questions from ALL THREE sections of the exam.
Use the exam booklets to write your answers and to do rough work. Please number your choices carefully.
Please write CLEARLY and DOUBLE-SPACE your work. Responses that are difficult to read are difficult to grade accurately; you may lose unnecessary marks if I cannot understand what you have written.
All answers must be written in COMPLETE SENTENCES and in INK – no point form is permitted, unless pressed for time at the end of the exam. Point form responses that are used throughout the exam will be given a grade of zero.
[I am always asked how long a response I am looking for in each section of the exam. My reply is always the same – I cannot give a definitive answer because people write at different rates and in different hands – some have very large handwriting and some have very small; some write quickly and some write slowly. But, you should be thinking in terms of how much knowledge (data) of the lecture material and of the texts you can demonstrate in the time given, rather than getting out of the exam room as quickly as possible. Note that the exam is designed to last for three hours – I suggest that you plan to use every minute of those three hours. If you finish and leave with more than an hour to spare, you have probably not undertaken enough work to earn a first-rate mark.]

SECTION 1: (30 marks)
[You should be spending 54 minutes on this section – a little more than five minutes per definition.]
Define TEN (10) of the following twenty terms and phrases as fully as possible, give an example of a text studied on the course which illustrates the chosen term and demonstrate how the text illustrates that term.

You may use the same text twice (but no more than twice), but if you do this you MUST use a different episode of that text for each definition.
A response that uses a text already used twice will be given a grade of zero.
Please remember to number your responses and DOUBLE-SPACE.
The numerical grade of a possible 30 marks breaks down as follows:
1 mark for the definition – plus,
2 marks for the clarity and appropriateness of the example. —————————————————————————————————-
3 x 10 = 30

[In order to revise for this section, go to your lecture notes. Think about the ways in which we have approached each text – I have often written certain terms or phrases on the blackboard. Some of the definitions could be used in more than one text – others can refer to only one possible text. Below is a list of 25 terms and phrases. 20 of them will be on the exam.]

1. Imagery. 16. Metaphor.
2. Descent to the Underworld. 17. Epiphany.
3. Setting. 18. Post-colonialism.
4. First person narrator. 19. Satire.
5. Epic / mythic hero. 20. Manifest Destiny.
6. Ocean. 21. Symbolism.
7. Allusion. 22. Post-Modernism.
8. Intrusive narrator. 23. The quest / the journey.
9. Social Darwinism. 24. Limited omniscience.
10. Repetition. 25. Wisdom of Siduri.
11. Modernism.
12. 19th Century Realism.
13. Imperialism.
14. Dialect.
15. Romanticism.

Section 2: (30 marks)
[You should be spending approximately 54 minutes on this section – a little more than 10 minutes for each quotation.]
Identify by author and title FIVE (5) of the following ten quotations. In each case, describe in one well-organised paragraph the significance of the quotation to the work from which it is taken. Be sure to give the author’s full name and the full title of the works chosen and to number your answers carefully.
Note also that while you may choose quotations from the same texts as used in your responses in Section I, you must not simply repeat your previous response. If I find that responses concerning significance in this section are too repetitious of responses in the previous section, I will discount them.
Please remember to DOUBLE-SPACE your responses.
The numerical grade of a possible 30 marks breaks down as follows:
1 mark for the author, plus –
1 mark for the work, plus –
4 marks for the discussion of significance.
6 x 5 = 30 marks
[Obviously, we studied ten texts during the term, and there will be ten quotations here – in other words there is one quotation from each of ten of the texts we studied this term. Remember — there are penalties attached to the usage of too much repetition in this exam. As tempting as it may be to revise only five texts and employ them in each section, you may find if you are not careful, that you have lost unnecessary marks because of it.
Again, your lecture notes will be useful as you revise for this section. I have chosen quotations – often, lengthy ones – that we have discussed in class, and which often have clues within them as to their origin. In writing about the significance of these quotations, don’t only show where they come in the text and what is happening, but how we examined them in class lectures.
I have also listed the titles and authors studied this term on the exam]
SECTION III: (40 marks).
[You should be spending approximately 1hour 12 minutes on this section – give yourself about five minutes or so to prepare your essay structure and get some notes down, and then spend an hour writing your essay]
Choose ONE (1) of the following five options and write a well-organised essay response.
In your essay, you may select texts you discussed in Section II, but you must not duplicate your answers. You are required to find a different aspect of the text to one you have already discussed. Responses within your essay that replicate a previous response will significantly affect the grade of your essay.
** Note also that I expect to see evidence of both lecture and textual material in your essay. Essay responses that use only the texts or only the lectures will be penalized. **
Please remember to write clearly and DOUBLE-SPACE.
[Each of the five essay options will ask you to pick at least three texts studied on the course, and examine them in terms of a variety of themes that we have addressed this term: themes such as culture, gender, journeys, symbolism, racism etc.
The options will be worded as follows: “Selecting at least THREE (3) texts studied on the course, discuss the significance of . . . in your chosen stories.”
Although we didn’t study “Squatter” during the term, you MAY use it in this section]
Good luck – and I hope you have a wonderful summer!
[Remember, if you run out of time at the end of the exam and don’t manage to begin the final section because you have spent too long on a previous section, or if you leave out a definition or quotation, I cannot give you any kind of mark for it. It is better to leave the end of a section uncompleted at the 54 minute mark, and go on to the next section. As long as you have a response written down – even an uncompleted response – I can mark it.
Before the exam, make sure you know where the exam room is and get there in good time – you will not do your best if you arrive for the exam late, panicked and breathless. If you are more than 30 minutes late for the exam you risk being refused entry.

Make sure you have your student card with you and displayed on your desk – I will be checking them. Also make sure that you have spare pens and tissues with you – although I usually have extra supplies with me.

Try to get a good night’s sleep on the evening before the exam. (late-night revision is invariably a waste of time) and give yourself time on the day of the exam to have a nutritious meal – remember – food is NOT permitted in the exam room (and I WILL enforce this). 3 hour exams are physically as well as mentally tiring – and you don’t want to be overcome with exhaustion and/ or hunger half way through the exam.

Finally, try not to worry too much!! My exams are not designed to catch people out or trip them up – I want you to show me what you do know, not catch what you don’t know.
