INFINITIVE: che cosa vuol dire? Due July 8

POST your explanation (in English) in COMMENTS.

Wait until at least 7 students answer, then leave a REPLY for the CLEAREST explanation.

 

Don't even think about copy&paste.

DUE JULY 7: COMMENTS REQUIRED

What kind of mistakes did you make in 30 giugno Task 3B?

Did you learn anything from those mistakes? For instance: to check gender and number of the words?

To check what article applies in front of them, based on gender & number (plus other factors?)

Did you learn you should pay minimal attention when you COPY words? Check twice you got the spelling correctly?

Another example

COMMENTS EXPECTED

 

 

30 giugno compito.

 

Task: practice verbi -ARE.  Create a table and save the doc as pdf.   Filename: your Italian name.

 

 

Could it be any simpler?

 

So, this is what I got:  

 

 

Two people forgot the little, insignificant detail about the filename. 

Was it the first time I ever required a specific filename for your work?

No. It happens with every single compito.

 

And yet, here we are again.

 

Now: how am I going to know whom those pdf's belong to?

 

Of course, I will have to open the file, find out who did them and CHANGE the filename (so when I check back to give a final grade I have the data I need).

 

BUT, wait a second. I did not require that you write your name at the top of the pdf. Therefore, I won't be able to tell who did it.

Which means I "should" go back to the email messages, find those with the attachments with wrong names, figure out who they were, and finally change the filename.

 

But why should "I" do it?

It isn't this something "you" were supposed to do?

 

Moreover: at least TWO students did not submit pdf's. One was an excel file, the other a regular .doc file.

 

What's the big deal, right?
