Any work not submitted is given ‘0,’ and the final average of your marks reflects this. This is unfortunate as the final mark does not reflect abilities.

Class of 07 - adieu

Goodbye, or rather “so long and thanks for all the fish”!! (from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy).
The orals will soon be over, the end of the semester is almost here. It's almost time to say goodbye..... so.....

I wish you all the very best in your next two years. I have enjoyed working with you this year and seeing your creativity flourish. May it continue to grow with energy, passion and caring. Two more years ahead from which I hope you will look back on this first year with some good memories, some good friends and with some confidence and strength gained in English.

The class blog will remain, though I probably will not look at it too much once you have moved on :-) Keep in touch via e-mail.
All the very best. Allyson
