The marks are in the main system and I am happy to report that most students did relatively well. A record number of students received distinctions for their written final. The final mark however is calculated, taking into account the portfolio (the weekly tests), the oral exams, the summative exam and the final exam - each part is weighted differently and is calculated to deliver a final mark for the semester. To have performed well for this course, you must have been dedicated to your studies all semester long. Congratulations to all who did well.
It was evident by the type of answers written by the students who didnt perform well, that the problem might be that they simply didnt attend lectures or were not responsible enough to commit to writing or preparing themselves well. Hopefully - they will be able to see how negatively a blase attitude to studies affects their chances in their lives sooner than later and will make concerted efforts to get on board the Success Train next Semester.
Hopefully, I will see you all next semester. It has been one of the best semester's of my teaching career.
