marking (1 Viewer)

[Fido]

hey,
does anyone else find that their latin gets marked REALLY hard?! like scansion... if i end a foot with a consonant (eg. grav|idam instead of gra|vidam) i don't get any marks at all! :'( does everyone else get this sort of marking, or is my teacher just anal?

 

[greeninsanity]

haha. i think that's just your teacher. we don't even have to get all the scansion right to get full marks! and it was only at the start of yr. 12 that our teacher stopped awarding 'bonus marks' in tests.
but it'll work out, cause ur school mark'll get scaled up if she's being really harsh.

*phew*
but still, SHES MEAN!

 

[greeninsanity]

aww... poor dear.

i meant to ask about that...
MQ website seems to say that they offer Latin and I didn't believe them, so I emailed them to check and they said, "We have Latin B, C and D suitable for those who have done HSC Latin."

I've checked and they don't have and Latin beyond the HSC level. Also Macq doesn't provide useful (or correct) information in most of the cases =p

 

[Fido]

lol j/k mic, no probs at all. thanks for the offer too... god i love this site, everyone's so nice! how did you go in your hsc latin? i'm determined to figure out what the ballpark is for this subject!!

 

[flyin']

When I did it, I didn't go well. So I'll leave it at that =p

Yes, nice we are ^o)
