Thème Next class

Because I received 12 scripts from the concours blanc and only 8 from the DST we will start the next class on Wednesday with the concours blanc (the passage beginning “... ne doit étonner personne”).

I have just finished marking your translations of Joel Dicker ( Everyone was talking about my book...). I have sent your scripts back to you by mail, so do come to the class with any questions.

The translations of Dicker I received (8 of them) ranged from 10 points faute to 60. Translating this into a realistic agrégation mark is not easy. The seul d’admissibilité is around 8 I believe.

Below is the guide I used for the  penalty points. It is rather approximate of course.


PS: I don't have an email address for Harry Scott, so if he can send me an email (I am prenom.nom@univ-rouen.fr) that would be great .
