I was wondering, if i failed the exam.. but when my overall mark is calculated its a pass mark, does that mean i still pass the course? or do i have to get over a particularly mark in the exam in order to pass the course?

Cause i think i failed =S Wait i did fail..

Yes, you pass the course if your overall mark is above 50. You DO NOT need to pass each assessment. I got a pretty poo mark: 26/50, but 76/100 overall. Oh well. Very happy with that. Was such a stress marking my own paper, especially when i only got 2/10 for a set of questions :S It's likely they'll scale it up a bit.

OMG THANK GOODNESS! i was shitty myself for a moment there..

You think you did shit? i got 13 =S

stazi · 6 Jun 2007, 9:50 PM

we all have different expectations on how we want to do. I initially wanted an HD, although after doing the exam I knew I'd be very happy with a D (except I was hoping for 80 for my overall mark)

poo

why oh why are the marks not up yet.

little-rat-boi · 8 Jun 2007, 11:29 AM

Well, I'm dead.

stazi · 8 Jun 2007, 12:16 PM

why?

stazi · 8 Jun 2007, 12:24 PM

Theyre up now. 78 overall. not bad. i wanted 80 though

cowchicken · 8 Jun 2007, 12:36 PM

I passed... the course

I just wanted to ask what the 'plus 2' was for?

stazi · 8 Jun 2007, 12:49 PM

scaling

what971 · 8 Jun 2007, 1:01 PM

73... so close...

At least I'm taking comfort from the fact that i beat the average by nearly 10 marks in a non-asian subject.

what971 · 8 Jun 2007, 1:03 PM

uh distinction cutoff is 75 in this subject right?

stazi · 8 Jun 2007, 1:05 PM

no, for all subjects the cutoff is 75, but Gil has his own system, where you fail at 65, pass at 75, distinction at 85, and HD at 100.
