Task 1> Sociometric inquiry = too impressionistic, you deserved 0. Good discussion of method. But you need to discipline your research, “free conversation” is not enough.

4

Task 2>
Interesting observation about the epistemological value of stereotypes, which then come (for you) POSITIVE.

4

Task 3>
1. Excellent awareness of trap question: “la parola “male” presente nelle domande 2 o 3, porterà sicuramente a risposte equivoche, è voluto e mi permetterà di passare ai relativi chiarimenti attraverso le domande “etnografiche”
2. If your foreign interviewees speak fluent Italian, they are probably bi-cultural (not simply accommodating).

Task 1>   A frank discussion of the difficulty of interviewing, but not enough: you have to prepare the 3 kinds of ethnographic questions before going, otherwise your report is like a café conversation.

4

Task 2>
Excellent interpretation of
BODY LANGUAGE CHECKLIST (page 28).
Some of your “ethnographical” questions were sociometric ones.

3

Task 3>
You shouldn't “explain away” with purely economic reasons the fact that Italians live with their parents in their 30's. The economy RESPONDS to demands. No demand, no response! (A possible response: the Government now builds cheap large apartments for families; if there were a demand, it could build even cheaper mini -apartments for singles; which families could buy instead of a “family vacation home” as they now do.

Task 1> EXCELLENT (best report from your group): precise (dimensions) and problematic (facial expression). Great quote from Tirnity boy!

4

Task 2>
Good description of the Brit's expressive behavior

4

Task 3>
good idea to explain answer to question 10 by transcribing response, giving the intonation, too. The transcription constitutes a document, thus accredits your interpretation.

Task 1>   My comments are on your paper.

Task 2> Good commentary on French-Dutch incident. Many of your “ethnographic” questions reduce culture to habits (they inquire about behavior, professed values), while culture is a way of being, a matrix of unconscious values, which good, empathetic questions can uncover.

4

Task 3>
Excellent comments on workbook – real anglo style (blunt but just criticism).

* Final Mark if you say nothing. At the exam, you get from -2 to +2 added to your cumulative mark, according to your answer. Thus, if a student has a cumulative mark (for attendance, the four tasks, and the esonero) of 24, then the student goes into the exam with 22.

SO THE PSYCHOLOGICAL STARTING POINT FOR THIS IMAGINARY STUDENT AT THE EXAM IS 22.

WHICH MEANS:

IF THE STUDENT SAYS NOTHING (OR AN OBSCENITY), S/HE ENDS UP WITH 22.
IF S/HE SAYS SOMETHING STUPID, S/HE ENDS UP WITH 23.
IF /SHE SAYS A WRONG ANSWER BUT NOT A STUPID ONE, SHE ENDS UP WITH 24.
IF S/HE SAYS A RIGHT ANSWER, S/SHE ENDS UP WITH 25.
IF S/HE SAYS AN EXCELLENT ANSWER, SHE ENDS UP WITH 26...
(and with a possible “ciliegina” of one more point for a really stupendous answer).

This final mark for the course must then be combined with the mark on the Lettori exam. Since this course is worth 2 credits and the Lettori esercitazioni are worth 4 credits, the final mark to be written on the student's libretto is a weighted average, obtained thusly:

COURSE MARK X 2, LETTORI MARK X 4, THE TOTAL DIVIDED BY 6 (plus a corrective of 2 points).
