Uni results for semester two
Yesterday I picked up the results for my three modules Ive been studying this semester. Poetry, Performance and Writing the Short Film.
Poetry 71% (My Portfolio consisted of two Sonnets, a collection of Hakui poems and three Ballads.)
Performance 62% (The play was performed to a small audience by professional actors and will be performed at the Chelsea Theatre later in the year. None of that effects my grade we were judge on the quality of the play and actor feedback.)
Writing the short film 61% (It was meant to be a comedy set in a Uni pub but my lecture said it wasnt nearly as funny. He also pointed out tons of plot holes which no one noticed before. Despite all this he still awarded me a high mark because it was well written.)
Poetry I received a first and Performance and Short Film I was given a 2:1. The pass mark to continue into the next year is 40% so I should be completely fine.

Keep up the good work!
Damned fine results if I do say so myself. ;)
I'm writing a story featuring some uni students and your post title got me thinking. Do students now refer to semesters rather than terms? When I was at uni many years ago we rarely used the word semester which I thought was more of an American term.
I used both (just finished "mature" degree). Two semesters a year, so terms fall within these. You can return after end of term and still be in the same semester...multiples terms in semesters.
Is it yet another adopted Americanism for "full/half term", mayhaps? If so, why do we now speak colonial English, instead of native? ;-)
