respond to final exam and TA presentations

in my well-revered opinion, the final sucked. first of all, it's not like i didn't know/recognize the pieces - i knew all of them and information about them as well.  i did not, however, remember the majority of the artists' names. perhaps if kip provided a list of artists the identifications would have been more feasible.  this along with the title of the works.  i don't quite remember, but if we were supposed to include the year too, well then that's just preposterous.  i feel as though knowing the title, artist, and year of all TWELVE of those works would only be plausible if kip put the lecture slides online. if this were the case, i believe there should be no leniency in the grading. but, since it was not the case, i do think the grading should be done fairly easily and as long as the student knew a couple things about the pieces, then they would do well.  my bluebook was also way disorganized, which i apologize for - hopefully you can read all the tiny writing in all of the tiny spaces (it moved so fast that i wrote shit down and then when i went back to elaborate more on each work, there was not enough space to do so cohesively).

as for the presentations, ours definitely kicked artsy-ass!!!! the first one made me want to crawl in a hole and make all the weird noises the soundtrack was making. and the last one was just like eh bleh...same with all those in between. our flash mobs definitely shat on everyone else!
