! Final Exam:
(online, Monday, November 30, 1:00–4:00 p.m., 60
points)   The
final exam consists of three essay-type questions, one
on each of the works we have read in the latter half of
the semester: The Glass Menagerie, Sons of
the Prophet and Girl Meets Boy. See below
for instructions.
- Answer sheet:
- Download the answer
sheet
and enter your information in the header. You can
do this in advance to save test taking time.
- Rename your answer sheet
file according to the indicated format, i.e.,
234 Final - your name here please.docx
Replace "your name here please" with your name
(and the first syllable of your last name for the
two Nuttanuns). Ex.
234 Final - somsak.docx
- Type your answer on this
sheet and send the (.docx) file to reach your
section instructor by 4:05 p.m. (five-minute grace
period included).
- In addition, you may
attach a PDF file of the completed answer sheet as
a fixed record of your work, against grader
comments and any accidental changes in the
official file. Only the word-processing sheet will
be graded.
- Links to your answer (ex.
on OneDrive, Google Drive, Google Doc, or online
Word) are not acceptable and will not be graded.
- Final exam paper:
- The exam paper will be
given in both Word and PDF (to check against in
case your different Microsoft Word versions affect
the content display).
- If you cannot download
the exam files on this page at 1:00 p.m., notify
your section instructor immediately (and CC your
message to tapanat.k@chula.ac.th). Be sure to
refresh your screen to view the most current page
and not the cached information on your device.
- Troubleshooting:
- If you experience delays
and/or crashes during the exam period, record a
short video clip of your work screen that shows
your writing, the frozen or broken connection, and
the date and time in the same shot. When your
device and/or the internet connection recovers,
record a short video clip of your work screen
again, showing your writing, the returned
function/connection, and the date and time to
account for the time lapse. Send these along with
your answer sheet at the end of the exam period.
If file size limit is exceeded, make sure you send
your answer sheet on time, and attach the video
evidence in a separate later message.
- If your answer file is
undeliverable within five minutes of sending it,
take a screenshot of the notification message and
of your answer sheet and send it to inform your
section instructor immediately (CC:
tapanat.k@chula.ac.th).
- Problems with responses
and delivery can be avoided with proofreading.
Double check not only your work (Did your answer
match the prompt number you indicate? etc.), but
also the send to e-mail address. A typo from haste
can result in the exam file not being delivered,
as some of you have learned the hard way. To be
safe, you can copy and paste e-mail addresses to
your message.
