Remember that the final exam is only for those students who did not pass (i.e. 9/20 or less, or weren’t evaluated, ‘NA’), or who wish to improve their mark.

You must use our coursebook, Filling the Empty Space and may use a dictionary. They can be hard copy or online (the dictionary can be mono or bi-lingual in the language of your choice).

In the final exam (90 minutes, like the lessons), you’ll have to write ONE essay. This essay will be on ONE of the 4 texts in our coursebook we’ve worked on (the Ayckbourn, the Shakespeare, the Beckett or the Kane): one essay in 90 minutes.

The question paper will tell you which text you have to write on.

Make sure you answer all the points in the question (it will have several) and show where your ideas about the text come from. You must, therefore, quote or, if you wish, just use page and line references (e.g. p. 17, ll. 10-15) to support your arguments. Do not simply make lists, describe events and summarise.

There is NO minimum or maximum number of words.

You may answer in either English or Portuguese.

Any doubts, please get in touch.

Best regards,

Mick
