RESULTS IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Hi,
Firstly I have finished calculating your marks. I have just realised though that you cannot see them yet because I have to go tomorrow to the Serviços Académicos to "sign for them" and only then can they be published. If you want to know today, send me an email. (Though I will be out taking my children to Evil Machines in the afternoon as my reward for finishing on time!!).

Perhaps the most comforting information for some of you is that NOBODY WHO DID ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS HAS FAILED. In other words, everybody has got 10 or more as their final results. Not the students who dropped out along the way, of course...

This means that nobody needs to do an Exame de Recurso (a second chance exam for those with 8 or 9).

There are Melhoria Exams on Friday 11 February 10.00 -12.00 in Room 1.05

Basically you do a written test and get a mark. If it is the same or lower than your end of semester mark, you keep that. If better, you get a new mark. It is normally quite hard to get a better mark so I would only do this if you feel VERY confident of getting a better mark.

Well done to everybody - even I was not completely sure what "Excel" would tell me, so I am very happy. If you got 10 or a low mark, though, please work hard next semester. This is just the beginning. If you do not have rich parents or lots of cunha, then you must work hard to finish university with high language skills to stand a chance of getting a decent job.

Uncle David signing out!

PS If you want to see a more detailed breakdown of your results, collect any essays, you can talk to me next Friday 8.00 - 10.00 in the computer room T3 on the second floor of the big tower. I am doing exams for another subject but expect to have free time on that day.
