Those six students would have each received the average of the top six major work marks as their moderated assessment mark. This average would necessarily be less than 50 unless all six of those top major work marks were 50/50.

I wasn't able to find a copy of the article itself (though it was available once upon a time). Instead, I've included other relevant articles on the topic for you, in chronological order: http://ink.news.com.au/classmate/mparker/8_JAN_97.htm...

Raw performance band cut-offs... raw means and standard deviations... possibly graphs showing the distributions of marks... and so on. Obtaining data relating to scaled marks is a bit more difficult; universities are exempted from the operation of the FOI Act. In that year and at that school...

Really? I had no idea you were doing law electives. :D I should have guessed. Plans are in motion... ;) I guess I may as well throw up my other negligence flowcharts, on the off-chance that they might be useful. Just remember that the law is always changing, and I'm not infallible, and so on...

I wasn't really sure what to expect. My individual marks don't really mean much - obtaining them was simply the first step towards obtaining more general statistics. There is a long way to go before I'll be able to rewrite and improve SAM, but it's definitely possible. And, most of my aligned...

With regard to breach of duty and the scope of the duty of care, the following might be useful: <a href="/james/Flowchart%20-%20Breach.pdf">Flowchart - Breach.pdf</a> It was just a concise summary I used for our exam. Minai's excerpt refers more to the calculus of negligence than to the...

The Board will follow your principal's recommendation. There is no fixed percentage or number of days - it varies between schools.

There is no exact number. Your principal needs to be satisfied that you've made a serious attempt at all of your courses.

Approximately 16% of HSC students achieve UAIs of 90 or above. Every student has a UAI calculated for them - they can just choose whether or not they want to be told what it is.

Very few raw marks are currently available, so we can't make statements on this matter with any certainty. It is likely to have occurred in at least one course, though. This is not true. There are special formulae which apply when (for example) a class consists of only two students. This assists...

It would seem that way - the figures should be correct to one decimal place. I was only able to obtain the distributions of subjects that I had completed.

UNSW does not warrant that these distributions of grades are in any way representative of grades awarded for these courses in prior years or future years. Section 3.2.12 of UNSW's Assessment Policy states: "3.2.12 Patterns of distribution for the current session and for previous sessions are...

I'm quite partial to the new 'Cosmos Cafe' in the Roundhouse. Mmm... kebabs. :D

Did you actually hear that, or did you just make it up? USYD only recently instituted their 'seminar' system, and it was modelled on the teaching style used at UNSW. :) The ex-dean who initiated the changes over there now lectures at UNSW on a casual basis. You won't find law anywhere to...

Oh, and there's a nice searchable version of the case on AustLII: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/federal_ct/1998/1082.htm

Not necessarily... evaluating the decision really means interpreting it within a broader context. I can't really see public policy and the rule of law coming in there, though there's certainly a lot to be said regarding the potential significance of the decision in relation to tribal communities...

I think there are generally around four or five big questions set and then each of the four class timeslots is assigned two of them (with some overlap). It seems likely, in my mind, that you'll have one of them in your test. I doubt you'll get both though. :)

No, I don't think it is. Newbie pointed out that it would probably be worth a maximum of 5 marks - I agree. I don't think the rule of law or public policy are too relevant either. I'm convinced the big ones will revolve around equity and customary law. Nah. I had Chris Forster (who was...
