First assessments.
The first assessments have started at the University. In a space of one week only, I have got four exams. The rhythm was particularly intense, and it was complicated to afford them with all the courses in addition.
I was unpleasantly surprised by the student's notes around me. For the Civilization assesment, the overall average was only 7 for a group of more 35 people. My classmates were shameful to tell me their notes, comprised between 1/20 and 4/20, and even if I got 16/20, the pleasure was short-lived because I knew it was only because I've learnt by heart.
I know for a fact, that I could not reproduce such a high performance in the subjects studied.
All the courses are taught in English, but they do not teach us how to speak in this language, neither how to improve our skills in writting. I still wonder how I'll get by. The notes return in literary is planned on this thursday. I'm affraid.

First assessments.
The first assessments have started at the University. In a time frame of one week only, I have got four exams. The rhythm was particularly intense, and it was complicated to do (afford sounds strange here) them with all the additiona courses in addition.I was unpleasantly surprised by the student's notes grades of the students around me. For the Civilization assessment, the overall average was only 7 for a group of more than 35 people. My classmates were shameful to tell me their notes grades , comprised between (I have never heard the phrase "comprised between" but perhaps it is correct. I am not sure. ) 1/20 and 4/20, and even if I got 16/20, the pleasure was short-lived because I knew it was only because I've learnt the information by heart.
I know for a fact, that I could not reproduce such a high performance in the subjects studied.
All the courses are taught in English, but they do not teach us neither how to speak in this language, neither nor how to improve our skills in writting. I still wonder how I'll get by. The notes grades return in literary is planned on this thursday. (I'm not sure what you mean in this sentence but I believe you are trying to say: "The literacy grades are going to be returned this Thursday.") I'm affraid.
When using "neither" you need to have a particular sentence structure: you need to start out the sentence positive, then use neither, then use nor.
Example:
I am neither cold nor hot.
I have neither time nor money.
The man can neither read nor write.
Lastly,
in English, notes and grades are separate things.
Notes: a brief record of facts, topics, or thoughts, written down as an aid to memory / a short informal letter or written message.
Grades: The report you get at school that says your score
