You could evaluate the student's performance during the exam on the content-form criteria. On the one hand, the students have to deduce some authentic themes embedded in the novel's narrative fabric. In this case, students should comment on these themes with some examples form the plot. On the other hand, students may discuss the novel's technique. That is, they might explicate the function of, for example, the omniscient narrator in the narrative structure. Furthermore, they may explain the significance of the setting for depicting the reality of the novel's context; and how the author simulates reality in the plot. On that account, the examiner would divide the grades on the novel's content and form.
