That's a real shame that you feel so frustrated, factual. You don't say what year you're in, so I don't knw whether you're in honours or not.
sub-honours, hun.

I have to say though, if you're looking for tutors to give you the answers, then you are the one at fault- they aren't meant to do that. They are meant to guide you, and send you off in the right direction..
thats exactly what i meant. i am not asking for answers because i know criticism does not involve finding an ultimate answer, but for guidance and giving me directions, so to speak. i need to know what i am doing and what i am looking for when reading a work. they refuse to help me on this (guiding, that is).

Have you approached your year rep on the English Student Staff Consultative Committee about this? I'm a member, and can put forward your gripes next Semester (without mentioning any names--confidentiality assured). It's a very useful forum, and students are listened to. We speak very frankly and openly, no holds barred. so if there's a serious problem, I can sock it to 'em on your behalf:) Perhaps student support might be able to help, too?
i don't know who my rep for the English Student Staff Consultative Committee is. student support cannot help - but dave roberts can. i might speak to him about this. as for this 'forum', i would like more info on this. is there a site?

Hi factual. Just click on my profile and email me that way if you want. And when I said forum, I meant a real, physical forum rather than cyber one. I do hope you get things sorted. English don't get it right all the time, but they try hard to.
