Email subject: compito 3 ottobre

 

We just finished the first month of work. Time to take a little break and review.

This week I am assigning only one written compito and one new video. However, I will ask that you review all the material and check the grammar videos embedded in the online course.

 

TASK 0:  ANSWER  Did you do at least part of the compito on your phone?

After analyzing lots of your work, I came to the conclusion that the cramped keyboard and small screen contribute significantly to many mistakes.

Take for instance the very frequent case of    < e > (no accent) instead of < e' >. Since you have to switch keyboards in order to type the ' mark, it's entirely possible that you skip it, maybe with the intention of going over it later.

In addition, the lack of a backspace button or cursors, makes it more difficult to correct errors, and everybody knows what happens when one is pressed for time. AND, in many cases it is obvious that the auto-complete function is left on, so you may correctly type "studente", but don't notice that the auto turns it back to "student". And if you don't review (hard to do on a small screen) the mistake stays there.
