Midterm Part 1: Essay Component

Dear All,

As you know the Essay component of the Midterm test was scheduled for July 5th, 7th and 8th next week. Just recently, Friday 8th has been made a public holiday so that the Friday date will have to be called off.

Therefore we are kindly asking Friday students to join one of the other two options -Tuesday 10-12 am, Prof Pich's tutorial, or Thursday 12 am-2 pm, Prof Aicega's tutorial. .

I expect everybody will be able to come to either of these but if someone can't manage these dates, please do come to me and we will work out a solution.

Best wishes,

Ana Moldero

Deferred Final 2016

Dear All,

As you know, English Language 4 has introduced the Deferred Final modality as from 2015 in order to make assessment more operative and student-friendly without detracting from academic achievement. The option is open to all students who have passed their Language 4 coursework and whose administrative status is in order. 

There will be two (2) deferred final dates this year. Students who decide on that modality can sit the Essay component of their final on the Monday, as follows: 
1. On the 2nd date of the July-August board, 2016,
2. On the 1st date of the November-December board, 2016

Pass results will hold valid and be kept stand-by for a quarter counted as from the essay-writing date. Fails will appear as absent on School records and so will Passes if students don't complete the rest of the exam components. At all times students can opt for completing the remaining components on that same week during the same board or at a subsequent date up to four months on. Accordingly, essays sat in August will be valid until December 2016 while essays sat in November will be valid until March 2017.

Finally, let me remind you that this being a final exam you must duly enroll at the Students' Office on the set dates so as to be allowed to take the deferred final.

We hope students will be pleased with this opportunity and use it responsibly. 
Kind regards,

Ana Moldero
