Has anyone ever had Jack Fennell as a grader? What's is he like. Yianna's gone on sabbatical so he's running the module. My FYP supervisor is doing the Irish lit module so I wonder would it just be better to stick with that even if the assessment is more complicated? Ugh, this is giving me a headache.
Jack Fennell is a wonderful grader! And also a very sound lecturer! I once asked him for material for my FYP and it was e-mailed to me within 10 mins after class!
I got two A1's with him and found him very easy to approach. A lot of people like his grading style
You wouldn't happen to have the syllabus for Irish Lit would you? It's not on sulis dammit..0 -
Maybe your essay was just of a really high standard!:)Jack Fennell is a wonderful grader! And also a very sound lecturer! I once asked him for material for my FYP and it was e-mailed to me within 10 mins after class!

Ah! Now I'm thinking I should have switched to Post Colonial literature! I can't make up my mind and I don't have much time left to decide. I thought I had made up my mind to stick with Irish lit but now after what you said I'm reconsidering it again! I'm so confused! I kept thinking I've gut feelings to go one way or another.
What do you need to know? I'll write down the stuff for you but you could as easily email Tina O'Toole and have her send you an emailed copy, up to you!:)
Reading list is:
Ronan Bennett, The Catastrophist
Emma Donoghue, The Room
Anne Enright, The Gathering
Joseph O'Connor, Ghost light
Poetry
Paula Meehan, Painting Room
Short story collections
Colin Barrett, Young Skins
Claire Keegan, Walk the blue fields
Edna O'Brien, Saints and Sinners
Assessment is as follows:
Research project and seminar leadership - 30% (Consists of a group presentation 25 minutes long + 1,500 word piece to be written)
Seminar attendance and participation - 20%
Major Essay - 50% (word count not specified)
Anything else you want me to get from the sheet? Oh, Maggie O'Neil and Jack Fennell are the tutors.
IN COMPARSION Post-colonial literature is structured like this:
Presentation - 25% (10 minutes +1,000 word critical response)
Midterm paper - 25% (1,200)
Final paper - 40% (2,000)
Class attendance - 10%
Do you see my problem! One has my FYP supervisor running it but the other has a much simpler assessment 0 -

Final Semester is stupid...Lecturers seem to forget that you have a lot on your plate already as a 4th year and give you the most homework ever! I've been up to my eyeballs in German and haven't even had a chance to start editing my FYP, due in Week 6 0
