I am confused,

Just got is a moderation report of few modules taught by me to the final year business students. Apart from equalities like 4x2 = 6 or “ this paper contain 4 questions, answer 4 questions in section A and answer any 3 questions in section B” in “checked and rechecked exams received from “of course” very capable and highly qualified academics of foreign academic institutions” there is something else which surprised me this time (Oops! I should have said “enlightened” instead of surprised)

Like most of the times, out of six students who sat for the exam six got over 70% results, (in other words, all are in distinction class). Ok Ok, I know there is nothing to be pompous about this, but at lease can’t I have right to get confused? Please don’t be mean to me; can’t you see I am confused?

Fine, why I am confused? Well, I have to, I think, need to learn logic again. Is it the case that I am logically screwed? Let’s turn back and check the report again. Ok. 6 students sat for the exam, all 6 are getting first classes, so what the confusion? The moderator in his/her moderation report states “six students get six first classes, no change of marks; student performance is “Average”. So the question is “an average performance = first class” so what will be the class for above average performance?

Ah ha! Finally I got over my confusion, I have just realized that the person who moderated the results of the module “Creative Idea Generation” cant Pronounce "L"!
