Final exam

As you probably know, there will be a final exam. You will be asked to write two essays. You will be able to choose from four topics (self-introduction, a movie, university life, and learning languages). It would be best to decide the topics you want to write about before the exam, and practice writing them. For the exam essays, quantity is very important, so you should practice writing quite fast.

Ideally, you will write your essays in 5-paragraph format.

The exam accounts for 30% of the final grade. That means it is possible to pass without the exam, but impossible to get a very good score. Conversely, it is not possible to pass with just a burst of hard work at the end of the semester: blogging through the semester is very important!
