Class Materials for April 05-07, 2022

 This week the Tuesday and Thursday classes are.... different because apparently the university has an urgent need to shut down Novum for a day (instead of choosing a day when no classes would take place, don't ask me... I have no idea why....)

Anyhoo....

Tuesday: Each of the groups last week will go over the translation of 'Gradation' they looked at last week (in front of the class) with the projector.

Just one person from each group is enough. You should have the presentation in Word on a pendrive (or be able to download it on the computer in the room). 

Thursday: Each of the groups will go over the translation in teams (one person from each group), the notes for the presentation should be sent to me ahead of class (since I will have to open it and display it).

All students will need:

The original text.

The translations by students.

The guidelines for analysis.

The presentation should be between 5-10 minutes.

It should be civil (all translators make mistakes and it's not a good idea to gloat over them).

We'll..... see how this goes....

See y'all in some format or other.

The first, here are the guidelines for the student analyses of "Gradation".

 - other things that you notice.

The notes should be from 1/2 a page to a full page (page = 1800 characters with spaces).
