The new marking policy mentioned by previous posters took effect from Semester 2 2008, so I doubt that there are detailed statistics available. Under the past policy which (and my bad here) was changed because it was far too generous, the combined D+HD rate was 42.64% on average and over 50% in electives. However, considering the low standards of Usyd marking in the past, I'll consider any anecdotal claim that marks are at the low end of the spectrum under the new system totally bunk until I see concrete statistics from last semester, which is the only semester you guys have had under the new system. That document is quite funny though, SULS isn't happy at all that the faculty tried to improve the standard that it marks at. Quote: |
