| 620157 | 2007-12-11 21:08:00 | Yes really grahic. I stand by what I said, you do not have the basic literacy to understand the question, which is very simple once laid out in full for us to read. However, now that you have bothered to provided adequate information, and assuming that you are quoting the question directly as it was written, the answer to your question is Yes. The question gave you the option to analyse either [a] a main character (singular) OR [b] main characters (plural). In the latter case you would be discussing or analysing a group. So you could answer either way, singular (one person) or plural (2 or many persons) any or all of whom would be English soldiers (soldiers of England). I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean, but I assume you were analysing the work of an English poet, because in the context you have given, the soldiers were not all English Poets! Cheers Billy 8-{) For what it's worth, I was a national examiner for 10 years and when marking papers, if I couldn't make sense of what the student had written I marked them wrong. It is not an examiner's job to interpret ambiguous or nonsensical answers or to give credit for what they thought a student might have been trying to say if there was no clear meaning evident. Which, to labour a point already well-made, is why I asked for context in my earlier post. :) Glad you're sorted, grahic :thumbs: , but it's a bit late to be worrying about how you may or may not have interpreted the exam question - not a hell of lot you can do about it now... :waughh: Time to chill and enjoy your Christmas holidays. |

( I hope i pass.....) Have a good x-mas everyone! Peace Probably I was a little pedantic. My last exam ( some 50 years ago ) I had a question in chemistry which I failed to read correctly. I had 95% in that exam. The question was NAME the salts produced by the following:- Five reactions and one point for each. I correctly identified the compounds but used the chemical formula instead of the NAME. Rather than NaCl I should have written Sodium Chloride. My teacher marked the exam and I have not forgotten his lesson. He would have given me 100% if I had answered the question properly. My fault entirely!!!! Unlike some others I am prepared to be responsible for my actions or even lack of action when it is called for. Good luck to all students but please remember that you need to read, comprehend and answer in an examination. I have not stopped learning as I do not know everything yet at this point. What I do know ( or believe ) may fill a book. What I do not know will fill a library. |

| 620161 | 2007-12-12 02:39:00 | Billy would like that,but he wouldn't admit it on here . I'm not sure that I do like it Ciccy, sounds a tad too pedantic for my liking . I would have given 100% . Independently from my examiner role, I used to run courses teaching students how to pass exams by maximising the use of their knowledge and it was a very effective course . I taught a large group one year (for the discipline I was examining in) and when analysing the national mark distribution, students from that region scored significantly better than average, producing a huge spike in the normal gaussian mark distribution curve . It looked like a bell with a spontaneous erection . Needless to say the Ministry of Education was on to me like a ton of bricks to find out why this occurred, the suggestion being "regional favouritism" during marking . I offered the explanation and suggested that they independently moderate my marking . I don't know what they did, but the marks and pass rate stood . I have kept that graph ever since as testament to the difference that actively reading the questions can make . I may scan it and put it on Image F1 if I can find it quickly . Cheers Billy 8-{) |

What I do not know will fill a library." Not wise to contradict Cicero. That too, and I'll take my chances without fear of contraception. :D I also agree with the original sentiment. In my case, what I do know may indeed fill a reasonably substantial book, but I seem to have misplaced the index, which can be very frustrating at times. :waughh: Cheers Billy 8-{) |
