well english is all about your own interpretation of the text.. atleast yours will stand out!

same thing happened to us.. we had a sub for 6 weeks who didnt think it was even necessary to read this poem through in class..

the marking is actually done really fairly. my english teacher marks for ex eng and she told us the process: they send an essay around for everyone to mark that they want people to give, for eg, an 18.. if someone gives it like 16.. they say mark easier.. if someone gives it 20, they say mark...

such a releif. i had no idea they had diff marking criteria for all texts! lol!

im not too sure if its different for english than other subjects, but alot of my teachers mark for other subjects and say they really aim to give marks more than take them away.. so sounds like itd be easier marking. just a guess

was it really only 79 last year? our paper, module b paper 2 in particular, was by far the hardest in a lonnnng time, especially compared to last year

lol

sounds about right. there was alot more specification in both papers

i agree completely.. all they did was give some an advantage and severely disadvantage others

thats a fair argument and im not trying to say that hamlet in any case is easy, otherwise i doubt they would have set it for the advanced course, though for the question, i do think a text that consists of one entirety of one text is much easier to approach thana bunch of speeches or essays...

or that of the teacher who didnt go through it, and told us we only needed 2-3? or that even of the hsc markers who initially said the same thing? as a student, i did what i was told by my teachers and by the hsc markers..

i didnt have a prepared essay. i did what i was told and taught to do by not only teachers, but hsc markers giving seminars, which was learn 2-3 of the speeches in depth.. it is near impossible to learn all eight that have no link throughout them all what so ever.. having disconnected speeches...

only an intro? shittttt that sucks!!

agree!

sooooo crap, right?
