The English Article final test 2019, comparing the whole student body by each year. Apr 2019

This chart (above) shows the test results of the whole student body who took the test and then also compares the results of each group by year.  

• Here we see that the overall did worse than the than the general student body. (unclear)
• The second year overall did better than the general student body. 
• The third year students averaged about the same as the general student body and 
• the fourth year students tended to do better in most areas than the general student body. 

Indicating that through the course of their studies the students have learned basic rules of the English article, however, those who participated in the English article course have a little better understanding of the rules.

The above chart compares the students majoring in translation to each other and with the whole student body.  The whole student body consists of all of the students who are studying English who were tested for proficiency of the English article in 2019.  

• First year translation students are those who are majoring in English translation but have not had opportunity to study the special course designed by Ms. Bergh on the use of the English article. These students showed the same competency as the general student body except they are a little stronger regarding rules:
• Rule 1. Basic "a" and "an" 
• Rule 2. Pluralizing Countable Nouns  
• Rule 8. Places, Streets, the Human Body, Diseases and the Military.
• The second year students showed the most competency.  This is the test group that has been studying this past year with Ms. Bergh in her special article course. (how many?)
• Some of the third year and fourth year students are those that took the special course and studied with Ms. Bergh in previous years.  Although, their competency level is not up to the level  of the second year students, the third year students still showed a higher level of competency than the general group except for the use of:
• Rule 2. Pluralizing Countable Nouns
• Rule 7. Proper Nouns, Geography, Nationalities, Languages and Religions
• Fourth year students specializing in English translation also showed a greater competency in the use of the English article, except they were a little weaker with:
• Rule 3. Uncountable and Countable Nouns.

We want to note here that these translation students did better overall than the average English major student, and we also want to make note that these students have not studied Ms. Bergh's English article course. (Who are these?)

The translation group FPB-117  is the group that took the English article course designed and taught by Ms. Bergh. (Are these the most current students at this writing?  If so we should refer to them by group number throughout this article to keep it clear.)  We see from these results that this group did considerably much better than the English students of the same academic year who did not take the course. 

This chart compares the students studying English translation third year who took the course with Ms. Bergh one year ago, with other students in the English department of the same year studies who did not take the English article course. 
The students who took the English article course, did better than the other groups except for:

• Rule 2 - Pluralizing Countable Nouns
• Rule 7 -  Proper Nouns, Geography, Nationalities, Languages and Religions

This chart compares the fourth year translation students who studied with Ms Bergh 2 years ago to the fourth year students who are studying English as a major and have not taken the English article course. We see these students did better then the other students of the same year of study who did not participate in the English article course designed and taught by Ms. Bergh. Except for rule number 3 identified in the chart above.
