Hodnocení
Poznámky
A,B,C a F
(nevyhovující)
A
The topic is excellent, and
necessary
E-F
Version 2 of this thesis is slightly
improved. Many errors have been
fixed after consultation with
myself (and I hope others). The
introductory and concluding
sections have been added to –
however with errors – the result
is what I would consider a bare
minimum.
E
Finally there is some brief
mention of what these visits
meant to English speakers and
Olomouc, but much more could
be done here.
F?
Not sure if the candidate is
familiar with the writers’ works.
E
The work centers on Olomouc,
but many local contacts were still
not even interviewed. On-line
sources were found, but there is
still more local material, in public
and personal archives, to be
consulted.
E/F
I have no idea of what the
candidate thinks of this subject. It
seems poorly written by a robot.
?
See note 3. below.
E
Still many mistakes and
inaccuracies

10/ Poznámka k práci
This is a deserving subject which
deserves a better chronicler: one
who at least has enthusiasm for
the project and a feel for the
material.
Připomínky a otázky k obhajobě:
1. Can you tell me how or why you invented such “facts” as “Quinn first visited Olomouc
during the American Studies Colloquium held on September 3-8, 2000…” (16), or calling the
non-profit Detour productions [sic] a “company” (15) ?
2. For more than half a dozen writers, such as Galway Kinnell (19), Georgia Scott (21),
Richard Caddel (21), Robert Alan Jamieson (31), Peter Urpeth (31), Kerry Shawn Keyes [sic]
(41), Peter Mackay (45), Alexander Hutchinson (45), you simply write “See Smejkalová.”
I believe you are referring to a thesis which has not even been submitted yet. This is not just
lazy; it is unacceptable. And in the cases of several of these writers, they will not match the
scope of Ms. Smejkalová’s thesis, so I severely doubt they will be included at all.
What do you have to say for yourself about this?
3. There is a peculiar item in the bibliography:
Dickinson, Chrissie. “ Review: Chris Mills´ whip-smart tunes fill Schubas.” Chicago Tribune, January 25, 2014.
Accessed March 12, 2015.
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-01-25/entertainment/ct-chris-mills-review-20140126_1_keyboards-whipsmart-guitar.
It is a concert review in Chicago, which in the last paragraph mentions the Irish singer Niall
Connolly (who did come to Olomouc). This article does not qualify as a source. It does not
provide any information, other than that the singer is Irish and lives in Brooklyn.
Can you recognize a proper source?
Závěr:
Práce je - není - doporučena k obhajobě.
