Midterm exams

The first week of April was dedicated wholly to the exams. Language on Monday, LC/RC on Wednesday, writing on Friday. Everyone turned up to each exam except for Mariela, who had to complete both writing and LC/RC on Friday, and Jorge who didn't attend Friday's class.

After taking into account some vagueness of questions/answers and a vocabulary point which was never touched on in class ("brought up a Catholic"), the results are as following:

Language: 

10 - two students

9 - one student

8 - three students

7 - eight students

6 - five students

5 or lower - five students

RC:

10 - three students (the same two for language, and one more)

9 - 

8 - nine students

7 - six students

6 - three students

5 - two students (neither failed the language)

LC:

10 - eleven students (including one who got 10s in language and RC)

9 - seven students

8 - four students

7 - 

6 - 

5- one student (didn't fail other skills)

Writing:

10 - three students (including one who got 10 in language)

9 - seven students

8 - ten students

7 - three students

6 - 

5 -

One student got NA.

Of these results I conclude that more work needs to be done on language (grammar) and reading and vocabulary skills. As we went through the answers the week after the exam, most students had a chance to improve their written exam by correcting their errors. These students will get an extra point for doing the extra work. Unfortunately the three students who got seven didn't attend any of these revision classes and so their score remains at 7 for the essay.
