I'm Reverse-Engineering An English Class
By:Elephant

I'm trying a new approach to one of my classes. It's a form of 'reverse-engineering', a process of taking a completed system apart to learn how it's put together.

I've started the term by developing a 'perfect' final exam for this class--the final exam I would LIKE this class to take (and PASS) in 15 weeks.

I'll spend the term working backwards using the exam as a reference. If I find myself becoming bogged down in a topic during the term, I'll alter the actual final given at the end.

I've also made up a psudeo-syllabus based on the 'perfect' final.

Any thoughts?
