Malmø Exams


I recently went through my exam in Malmø at the teacher training college. The exam was on the subject “Language, culture and Identity II”. In the exam we had a small week to answer questions on “the relationship between a specific subculture and the dominant culture in which it manifests itself”, “difference between plot and story in the movie Pulp Fiction, using causality and mis-en-scene” unfortunately the only day I missed school (due to a bus strike in DK) was the day that one of our teachers went through this subject. We also had to describe the question of the terminology “Race only being used to imply non-white people, and why whites are seen as the human norm” this was quite an interesting question that goes along well with internationalization and our own perception of who we are and how the world sees us.
Another question is about the difference in the narrative between a movie or text and a specific computer game. Finally we had to choose different pictures and make a analysis of the selected images and the subjected they covered.
I thought that some of the exam questions were quite interesting, but it was also visible that we had been thought by two teachers who kind of had their own approach to the course and know they had to divide the exam questions between them, even though some questions, I believe had more relevance to the course then others.
I have not had any feedback on my final exam at the course, so I am still waiting anxiously.
