ENG 331: Early English History Test

This in-class test, a timed assessment of your command of basic geographical locations and dated events (primarily the 20 on this list), all of which we will cover in our first five weeks), will occur before the middle of term (see our course schedule for exact dates), in the same week that you meet with me for your Edition Critique and Recitation..  

Test questions will be multiple choice and short answer. This test is new as of winter 2024, so it is still under development.

The test will be built to take 35-40 minutes, but I allow the full 50-minute class session for you to complete it. That said, the test is time-pressurized in order to better assess your in-the-moment ability to bring the relevant information to mind. If you have arranged with Accessibility Services to have access to a less pressurized test-taking setting, I encourage you to use it; if you contact me within the first three weeks of class, I can also arrange extra test-taking time in my office (such arrangements are one menu item among many for the accommodations and modifications I offer).

If you do not attend class on the day of the test, you must email me immediately and attend the Office Hours session immediately subsequent to that class session, where I will lead you through a make-up test. If the subsequent Office Hours session passes without any contact from you, your test grade will drop to zero, with no exceptions.
