English 1 builds the reading and writing habits the rest of the degree assumes you already have. It is assessed on comprehension and precision rather than on literary interpretation, so it rewards careful reading over strong opinions.
Where marks go: Marks go missing on questions that ask what the passage actually said, not what it implied — read the question's verb carefully.
Three documents in this collection: one reference book, one short note set and one week-wise note set.
