Premiership Final Marks
Time for a quick reaction to an exciting final day of the Premiership season.
There were 20 candidates, no absences, and no extenuating circumstances recorded. The final marks are all in and we can now proceed to the classification of honours:
Looking at the last column we can see that the top four all get first-class honours, with Man City (top of the class) and Liverpool in line for prizes. Arsenal may also end up with a 1st, possibly depending on the result of a viva and consultation with the external examiner.
Among the others, Man Utd will be disappointed with their 2.2. By contrast Brighton will be delighted to have scraped theirs.
Newcastle in 11th only get a 3rd but they did at one point look like failing so will be relieved; they might also be bumped up to a 2.2 after a viva or if there are extenuating circumstances. There is a long tail of poor marks near the bottom: Norwich, Watford and Burnley all drop out but may return to resit at some stage.
(I think may have been spending too long recently marking examinations…)

Do Burnley, Norwich and Watford not get sent to a poorer quality university to repeat their exams, with the possibility of returning? In the meantime replaced by 3 from the lower quality institute?
