[Jago]

hmm...




FAILED.


That is all.

 

[Casmira]

thank god im doing that shit next semester

 

[sunjet]

Failed. Fucking lack of sleep/cold in exam + had no idea for half of it, looks like i'm doing it next semester.

 

[dum_di_dum]

Do they ever scale the marks if heaps of ppl fail/do badly? I know its very very unlikely, but has it ever happened?

 

[tempco]

I've heard that most course coordinators try and keep the failure rate at around 10%. So if there's an unusual amount of people failling, they'd scale it up.

I doubt that'll happen for QMA though.

 

[dum_di_dum]

ah well...i dont think i failed, but i do want to get a good grade nonetheless

S1, 2003 S1, 2004 S1, 2005 S1, 2006 (Midsession)
SCORE LESS THAN 10: 16.7 % 14.6 % 16.2 % 34.83 %
SCORE 10, 11 AND 12: 20.3 % 22.3 % 27.7 % 26.10 %
SCORE 13, 14: 13.7 % 19.2 % 19.7 % 17.37 %
SCORE 15, 16: 16.5 % 19.8 % 16.8 % 12.22 %
SCORE 17 TO 20: 32.8 % 24.1 % 19.6 % 9.47 %
PERFECT SCORE 20: 6.5 % 2.7 % 2.1 % 0.37 %
AVERAGE MARK 13.87 13.59 13.08 11.23
STANDARD DEVIATION 4.26 3.62 3.54 3.82

There has been a huge drop percentage wise

Wish they'd allow carry over errors too

you mean they dont?

wow. fail x2

 

[dum_di_dum]

Sorry for scaring you, I bet they'll allow it for small errors, but in my case (question 4) I think i'll be getting a big fat 0 for that section

A few spots have opened up in ECON1203 tutes for session 2

 

[sunjet]

Are they running 1202 session next semester?

 

[Casmira]

yes im doing it then. but only 1 lecture time and even that is almost full. if you're 100% you are going too fail then id select it now ifi was you

 

[seremify007]

Aren't we like.. the worst QMA grade in the past X amount of years based on midsession averages? LOL... maybe we will get scaled.

At least my QM*** exam is over for now. Hopefully I passed. I answered more than half the questions with my brain thinking "I got most of that correct" so it should be okay. The only thing which made me feel better was I managed to solve the Linear Programming one despite never ever doing a LP question in my life (probably should've done the homework or at least tried some!). Couldn't get the lagrange one properly (probably should have done the homework on that too beforehand).

I thought they do? If not... that's crap. I mean what's the point of having a written paper for maths if they only care about the final answer! Might as well have given us more MCs. Easier for them to mark too.

Haha, oops its all speculation guys, dont take my word for it...

I'm just saying, in question 4 (congrats to seremify for getting it out - i didnt) i'm pretty sure i did everything right- except the constraints were wrong...i dont see how they can give me any marks for that if if i havent even gotten the fundamentals correct

 

[Jago]

i wasnt even close to getting out the correct answer. although i did scribble something about iso-functions and stuff and i drew up what i guessed. So meh, hopefully 2-3 for that bit (doubt it though)

 

[dum_di_dum]

I hate it when you study ur ass off and it doesnt pay off.

Did anyone get the answer to that barramundi limited growth question? I got some whacked answers several times, couldnt figure out what i got wrong, and just gave up

Dammit, so long till results are released as well

 

[phrred]

i believe fail rate is partly based on bell curve so dont think, and hope ,35% fail otherwise im screwed need 26/65! and its also a 1st yr subject and theyre more lenient for 1st yrs

 

[sunjet]

I need 30/65 to pass the course, just was fucking tired in it and half the questions had no idea what to do, oh well.

 

[StGeorgeDragons]

didnt help that exams were one day after another.

 

[fantasy27]

i found the LP question hard, it was weird, i probably made my constraints wrong ><", i spent so much time on it, i think i only gathered 3-4 marks at most for that section if they allow carry-over errors

do we need to have passed this final (>50%) to actually pass the subject?

 

[volition]

Did anyone actually get the LP question? Nobody I've spoken to yet got it... I just don't understand how to do that question.

But, it was possible to work out the minimum cost just using logic
