1 about average = more or less/approximately average
2 It should be the other students as these are specific stduents (the ones in his class).

Thanks a lot. [strike]^^[/strike] Unnecessary.

Note that we end a sentence with a single full stop (or question mark or exclamation mark). I don't know what ^^ means. If you want to use a smiley/emoticon, click on the smiley face icon in the toolbar and choose one, but put it after the full stop.
