! Final Exam: (online, Monday, November 30, 1:00–4:00 p.m., 60 points)  234 final exam  234 final exam 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 234 final exam 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.
