Feedback

If you answered all 1s to the questions the lesson has worked well for you and suggests that you are strongly inclined towards an Arts subject.

If you answered mostly 2s perhaps the approach does not quite suit you and you may need to consider a different approach that would suit you more.

If you have answered mostly 3s then perhaps you have discovered that textual analysis is not really your thing. This could, of itself, be very helpful to you as it can be helpful to clarify what it is that you do not want to do, as much as it is to discover what you do want to do.
