Autoevaluación:
I think I’ve done a remarkable improvement in understanding poetry as a whole through this course of English poetry. In my opinion the score I deserve ranges from a “Notable” to a “Sobresaliente”. I support this view taking into consideration the scores I’ve been given throughout the year would make (depending on the points given for every paper) around 8 points, which deserves a “Notable”, but taking also into consideration the extra points due to class assistance and participation and web page presentation this could lead to the “Sobresaliente” and more taking also into consideration the progress I’ve made in the subject and the better performance that I’ve shown on later papers.
This subject got a “Matricula de Honor” (“Distinction” or “A+”) grade.
