The objective was that no-one would fail English, but here there are 12 who have. Let’s see how many people fail in the other three courses and we’ll be able to draw a conclusion from that.

The results of the difficult exams are, surprisingly, the lowest of all three levels. The average was 4.6 (easy = 5; medium = 6.9). This should make some people think, including me, of course, but also you, the people who took the exam.

The intermediate level exams are now marked and the results have been very good. Only one or two people have failed the test, which I think is very good news; and there was even a 10!! The average result was 6.9. Congratulations!

The easy level tests for the end of the first term are now marked. This time, the penalised wrong answers with -1/2 and, as a consequence, results are lower than for unit 2. The average result? 5.03, which is not bad (for an easy level exam).

Julius Caesar said ‘alea iacta est’ upon crossing the Rubicon in 49 BC, according to Suetonius. It is used when you cross the point of no return, usually in risky situtations when the outcome is not very clear.

Of course, we’re talking about the end of the 1st term. All the examinations have been taken and now we have to wait for the results.

Wow! Imagine him as a teacher!!
