ICI Midterms

Good morning everyone, here are the results.
Where it reads MU it means the person concerned needs to take the make up, i.e s/he is given the chance of taking the test again so as to revise and consolidate topics and strategies in order to feel at ease for the second midterm. Take the make up as a learning experience.
I will leave the exams Monday morning in the Department and be available for feedback at that time. Otherwise, we can talk on Tuesday at noon.
For the time being, try to rewrite your exam questions and come up  with doubts.
In general terms, avoid at all costs:

1. Stating the obvious
2. Speculating on what the reader/viewer thinks, feels, learns... 
3. Introducing new ideas towards the end
4. Losing sight of your throughline
5. Explaining sth by repeating exactly the same word, i.e. one story is abour oppression because it deals with oppressed people. This may be called a tautology
6. Explaining a text/film by enumerating what it does not do, show, or represent.
7. Ending the text the way you should have started it
8. Retelling at the expense of analysis

On the contrary, focus on:

1. Stating your topic clearly and sticking to it at all costs. Choose your throughline and never lose sight of it
2. Explaining extra clearly what exactly the text/film does, shows, or represents. Consider the fact that it is a product, but an artistic or cultural one.
3. Summing up the contents of your writing in the last paragraph
4. Paraphrasing and using synonyms
5. Providing a clear introduction: announcing what you're going to say, how, and why
6. Analysing instead of retelling and using reported speech.

We'll keep in touch through the blog and the email. Well done, everyone.
