    ~Sem 1 2012 Results~

    Lol, don't worry. There's really no difference between a d and HD. They both give you a 4.0 GPA towards your overall GPA result. At the end of the day the saying PS equal degrees is true, although I think it stupid to just aim to pass. It's always a good feeling to get more than just a pass.

    Should I complain about my mark? I think I should have obtained a higher one.

    In a subject that I did, I obtained the following marks: 1. 90% for something with a 25% weighting. 2. 70% for something with a 30% weighting. 3. 75% for something with a 5% weighting. There was a test that I missed due to illness, which had a weighting of 40%. I was told that I would be given...

    How can you become a tutor at MQ?

    I've heard that the only requirement is that you are doing Honours. Is this correct?

    First impressions on Macquarie (2 weeks in)

    Lol, to all of those of you doing STAT 170/171, see if you can do PSY 122 instead. It still has all of the boring stats and maths, but it's not as hard, because it has components of psychology.

    How can I get my concession sticker and a 2012 handbook?

    I went to the student services new location last Friday (ie, the level below the food court) and asked there. The people there were about as useful as tits on a bull. One said that they didn't have the handbooks, and another said that my concession card would be posted this week, and it didn's...

    Above 75 is out of the question, right?

    My friend got this, and apparently he got 84, but I think that that's BS.

    Have to pass exam to pass the unit.

    Wow, that amazes me. This is THE first time that I've ever had a unit that stresses that you need to pass the exam to pass the unit itself. I understand what you guys are saying, but what if someone performs really well throughout the semester, but then nerves affect them in the final exam. I...

    What happens if you're sick for an exam?

    Lol, yes! I ended up doing it, I wasn't as bad as I though, but I've filled out a special consideration form. Thanks for the help guys. :)

    Have to pass exam to pass the unit.

    Has anyone ever had this? I did PSY 122, and it said that we have to pass the exam to pass the unit. I detested this unit, yet got a solid 33/50 for the non-exam components. How is it fair, if, say I get, 23, that I have to do this dreadful subject again? This is not really common protocol, too...

    What happens if you're sick for an exam?

    I am feeling really sick, and have an exam tomorrow. I don't think that I'll be anywhere near recovered, but I want to do it to get it over and done with, because I hate the unit, and because I don't want to have to go and so a supplementary exam. If I get a doctor's certificate stating that I...

    Is it fair to get a raw CR but SNG P?

    Thanks, I totally agree with you. How could I go about contesting this?

    Is it fair to get a raw CR but SNG P?

    Thanks Pwar and andy for your responses. I received this email from the convenor: In regard to the mark of 63, I reiterate what I wrote to you on December 20, 2010 when you first contacted me to enquire informally about your grade. A SNG is “a ranking within a letter grade. In your case, the...

    Is it fair to get a raw CR but SNG P?

    My mark for a unit last years was 65 raw, so a low credit. However, my scaled (or whatever you want to call it) was 63, so instead of a low credit, a high pass. I thought that scaling was obviously fine, but that you had to be awarded a mark that was the same as your overall grade. Can someone...
