S22CEC26- Part 2

Hi Everyone, welcome back to part two. Now

we talked about the basics for the exam.

How it's the same, everything the procedure,

what you need to do is the same as the midterm,

you have part A. At eight a.m.

at the beginning of the week. Right? So we're going to

go right in a row,

two classes in a row where you're on zoom with me and cyber campus and doing your exam

and doing it the same style, the same procedure as we did for

the midterm exam.

And of course part A I told you on the exam has is

different part is the same as the same style as the midterm exam.

But

it only has its only focusing on the first three articles in the second half.

So article 56 and seven only those three articles will be on part A of the exam.

Okay?

And I will ask you four questions about each one.

Um that should be should we be worried? Article four questions.

There seems to be a pattern for questions who is to blame

for questions and then one synthesizing question that asks you to compare

two or all three articles.

Okay, in some way compare something

like the attitude or the purpose or the

structure or the audience something.

One of those strategy kinds of questions that we ask

That we've been really focusing on.

Okay, now part B of the exam next week when you come back for the 930 exam, part B.

This will also have 12 questions and this will be just like we did on the midterm exam,

you remember

in part A.

The midterm exam, part a. We had 12 questions

and then we had one synthesizing questions. So we had 13 questions on part a.

That's the same as the final

final exam.

We will have 12 questions plus one synthesizing, that's 13 questions for part a.

And just like the midterm exam, part B.

We had 12 questions

And so on the final exam there will also be 12 questions.

Okay, but here's the big difference

if you remember

on the midterm exam,

what you needed to do was download the

exam,

Part B exam and you had to download to new articles

that you had never read before or maybe never seen before.

Right. These are brand, those were brand new articles.

You downloaded the two articles plus the exam and you read you used your

strategies and you look through and answer the questions for those two articles.

Right? And we had six questions for each article.

So new article number one, there were six questions.

New article, number two, there were six questions. Okay

that was

the midterm exam,

We were not doing that this time.

The final exam is actually a little bit easier than

the midterm exam wise,

a little bit easier because

you already have all the readings,

You might have figured this out already by the way,

I didn't include any article eight

on part A of the exam,

Part B is only article 8s

with an S.

You you see that those 12 questions, there will be four questions just like part A.

There will be four questions for each of the three readings from article eight.

So the Covid will be like smoking, I push that together the title,

but Covid will be like smoking article,

I will ask you four questions about that.

Why so many young men in south Korea hate feminism.

I will ask you four questions about that

and finally,

a woman takes the lead role in Confucian ceremonies.

I will ask you four questions about that.

The 3rd article in Article eight.

So

remember when I said to you, if you have time with your groups

and with strategies you should have time because that's what strategies,

that's one of the benefits of using strategies

is in your toolkit

is that you're able to

be more efficient and do a better job

of understanding and making good inferences and paraphrases,

you're able to do all your skills and get that.

Get that done quicker.

Remember I told you that if you had time,

I would I would personally have not just done one article

as required,

you know, for self study and purpose.

I would have

I would have done two articles or three. If I had time.

Well

if you did then this is your chance to

have a kind of benefit because you've already kind

of done part of the work for the for the articles on part B of the exam.

If not you have time now to look before the exam begins.

So again, it's easier, you don't have to wait until

the day of the exam in the moment, during the exam to read to new articles.

You already have them.

You have all three of the articles that will be on the exam

and that's all there will be on the exam.

Is those three articles on Part B right

on part B.

You will have the covid

is like smoking story,

the young men in south Korea story and the women woman taking a role,

a lead role in Confucian ceremonies.

You will have those three as part B of the exam.

And again,

each for each of these four questions for each

of these readings for each of these articles.

The four questions you need,

you will get a possible four points for each one and you

need to write at least one sentence and up to three sentences

that that give an answer to the question.

Again, the answer to the question and some kind of support either

a reason or explanation or an example from and

particularly from the article if you can without copying.

That was something, there were two things that students did on the midterm exam.

There were three things that students did on the exam.

There were the most common mistakes.

Okay,

the most common mistake

that students did was they didn't write a complete sentence.

They began their answer with the word because or so

And they didn't end up making

a complete sentence and they lost one point throughout their exam.

It was like -1 -1 -1 -1.

And they lost

like 12 points

just from not

putting a complete sentence.

And that dropped their grade from

possible A to a possible B or B to a C.

If you lose 12 points,

you're actually dropping quite far. So if you did it every every every answer,

some students dropped two or three grade levels

just because they didn't write complete sentences.

So that's the number one common mistake on the midterm.

Don't do it, write complete sentences, don't begin

with because don't do it,

begin with the subject from the question,

especially a pronoun,

okay,

the second most common mistake that that that students

did was that they didn't answer the question.

They didn't actually stick to the answer the question.

They tended to kind of throw everything in.

They went, when I asked them, for example about the purpose,

they talked about the purpose, but they also talked about the main idea,

they talked about the structure, They talked about everything and threw it in there

and they lost points for that.

Don't do that. Stick to the question, answer the question.

And the third way that they that many students

lost the point was that they did something wrong.

They did one of two kinds of problems with their support won

they copied it from

The text.

They gave like 56 words, seven words from the actual text.

Some people copied a whole sentence and put it on there.

You can't do that. You cannot copy

from the text.

You cannot copy from a translation program either.

You can't chew,

you can't choose a whole you know complete idea and put it on there as yours.

You can't do that, you won't get full points.

So what you want to do, remember when you use and you should use

information from the text

but only use up to three words together from the text. Never used more than three.

That's generally the rule.

Okay if there's a lot of little words like in the

Then you might have four words

right?

Like

an antenna in the antenna.

Again you might have up to four words.

If there's a lot of like little unimportant words like that,

like prepositions or articles.

But

generally speaking when you give your answer,

you want to write the answer in your own words,

you want to paraphrase what is said and just add just a few words here and there.

So you can have like two or three words from the text or

two or three words from the text here and here in your answer.

But if you give a bunch of words five or 67 words from the text or a complete sentence,

you're going to lose the points.

Another way, the second way that they lost points for their support

was that they were too general.

They pointed to like they said,

and you can see this in paragraph five.

That is not a good answer, because it's not specific enough.

Paragraph five probably contains a bunch of different ideas,

and most of them are not what you're talking about.

So if you say, oh, you can see that in paragraph five,

then that's basically telling me, oh, go look and find what I mean.

Uh huh

don't do that. Don't do it. Generally.

You can say he's be specific, say he talks about,

For example, if the article, if paragraph five was talking about blue bicycles,

then you would, and it talks maybe it talks about blue bicycles.

Red bicycles, yellow bicycles, Okay, paragraph five is about bicycles.

So blue bicycles, red bicycles, yellow bicycles.

And what if your answer is only about blue bicycles

than what you might say. As you say, you can see where he says

Blue Bicycles are great in paragraph five

or you can see where he where he he's very critical of blue bicycles

in paragraph five.

That would work because it's specific pointing me to the

blue bicycle part of part five of paragraph five,

not the other information that doesn't answer the question or doesn't support it.

Okay,

that's how you you need to be careful when you answer,

because those were the three main kinds of problems that

students had and how they lost points on the,

on the midterm exam.

Okay, so be careful

and answer a complete sentence for each of these and give

an answer that matches the question and make sure that your support

logically fits logically connects to and supports your answer

and shows me you're thinking why you chose it.

Okay, you can look at this little um little

bulleted points again to show

to remember how I

Mark You, How, How You Can Get All four Points.

Okay,

now again, as I did on the midterm exam,

I'll just point you towards the question types,

in case you've forgotten what kinds of questions I will ask you on the midterm,

on the final exam,

just like the midterm exam, I will ask you questions about our reading

based on

are reading skills? Are reading objectives are toolkit?

Okay, so again, there they are listed, their source,

the source of article the audience structure, general intent

about the basic five questions I could ask you including red flags or

you know, the others,

um influencing, summarizing, paraphrasing

how the support, what's going on, what, what the support is doing what and again,

when I talk about support or when I talk about structure,

you should use my language in your answer.

If I talk about structure, you should choose one of those from the list.

If I talk about,

if I ask you about the exact kind of support,

you should choose from that list that I gave you here.

You should not

ignore it.

Okay, um figurative language and word meanings. I could ask you about.

I won't ask you specifically about that language, you know, like D notation,

connotation or complications.

I won't ask you any of those details.

The only details I will possibly ask you

and what you need to give in your answer

is about structure.

If I ask you about the structure, you should choose from this list.

If I ask you about the support,

you know, the kind of support

that's very important when I use the word kind of

what kind of structure, What structure,

what kind of support then you should choose from that list.

Their comparisons, contrast statistics, quotations, descriptions that

those specific words should be used because those are very specific

to support and structure.

Okay,

Alright, finally, again, here's samples of different kinds of questions.

The different ways that I would ask it. Like, do you think this article is credible?

Do you

who do you think the intended audiences or all

the way down is the author's perspective important.

Do you think the article is based on or I might ask you specifically?

What does the author mean by this specific thing?

Okay, and that's it. I'll put that in quotations.

Alright. I'll see you in part three. Next
