! Final Exam:  314 final exam  314 final exam  (open-book; Tuesday, November 29, 2022, 8:30–11:30 a.m., BRK 402; vocative text)  The test paper and answer sheet will be handed out in the exam room. A soft copy will also be posted here in both Word and PDF for your reference. Respect our Chula academic integrity and be smart about how you use your time. Guidelines, requirements and policies are below.
  • If you have tested positive for COVID-19
    • Taking the final exam
      The Faculty of Arts has provided quarantine room BRK 307 for positive cases. Please email me (your instructor) a dated photo of your ATK result with your student ID so I can inform the Exam Committee and have your exam papers delivered to the quarantine room.
    • Missing the final exam
      You may submit a CR44 form (endorsed by your advisor along with a physician's note from a Ministry of Public Health accredited institution as evidence) to request a make-up within one week from the first sick day, according to Chula regulations.
  • You are allowed to consult notes and online resources, but not Google Translate or other translation services (ex. machine, agencies, individuals).
  • Responding digitally
    • Answer sheet: 314 answer sheet  Download this Word file and format it ahead of time so you can focus on typing your response on the day.
    • Rename the Word file for submission according to this format:
      314-2022a-final-yourname.docx
      Replace "yourname" with your name. Ex.
      314-2022a-final-patara.docx
      Fill in your student information (name, student ID, seat number) at the top in the space provided.
    • Use
      • Times New Roman font (TH Sarabun New is thin and not an ideal native English language font for extensive reading)
      • 14 point
      • double-space
    • Save your work often.
    • As soon as you are done, a good safety measure is to take a screenshot that includes your work and showing the date and time on your device desktop as evidence against any email mishaps that may result in your file arriving past the designated time.
    • Attach your Word final exam response in an email to me with the subject: 314 final section 2 to reach my inbox no later than 11:30 a.m.
    • If your e-mail address is not under your official first name and last name, include your roster name and last name in the subject or message of your mail.
    • Answer files arriving timestamped in my inbox later than 11:30 a.m. is penalized 1 point per minute.
    • You may include a PDF file of your Word response as a fixed record of your work, against grader comments and any accidental changes in the Word document.
    • Links to your response (ex. on OneDrive, Google Drive, Google Doc, or other cloud systems) are not acceptable and will not be graded.
    • If your response file is undeliverable within five minutes of sending it, take a screenshot of the notification message with your answer and device desktop date and time in the same shot and send it to inform me immediately. Problems with responses and delivery can sometimes be avoided with proofreading. Double check not only your work (Did you leave a word or phrase for later and have not gotten back to it? etc.), but also the send to email address. A typo from haste can result in the test file not being delivered, as some of you may have learned the hard way. To be safe, use the hyperlink or copy and paste the email address to your message.
