Title: [UoM] 2017 Semester 2 Results Thread
Post by: lzxnl on November 15, 2017, 11:12:39 pm
I saw a post saying they saw their WAM change. So, it begins. For the seventh time for me.

Please keep the important information regarding results discussion in mind before posting.

They dribble out when they’re ready, yep. Some faculties are extremely efficient :)

Yeah, one of the subjects (Stochastic modeling) that had exam on 31st actually released the result on 10th, some record-breaking speed of marking ;)

I've had a WAM change - a nice one upwards. Either Real Analysis or Foundations of Computing, I'd say - has anyone who took one of those had a change? I'm betting the latter.

Here we go - final semester marks.

FAT, Derivs, Corp Fi or Auditing was updated into WAM; I'm thinking it may have been FAT - can anyone confirm?

meanwhile at monash only just recieved marks for the final assignment for one of my subjects (which was submitted ~45 days ago, although apparently the markers were sick)  :'( :'(

Also one of my units has a end of semester examination spot in the gradebook so possible although unlikely that we might get our exam mark and then can calculate total unit score.

Still waiting on getting both the second last and last assignments back for one of my subjects, so it's not just Monash.

WAM updated yesterday, going up ever so slightly, pretty sure it's Electricity: An experimental history.

Definitely much higher than I was expecting (higher than either from SEM 1). I reckon its chemistry, just because the mark seems too high for biology considering and I know that chemistry will have been scaled a bit.

ESD2's exam was earlier, and my result release times for both semesters so far have all been reflected in the exam dates, but can't confirm right now.

Yep, definitely Derivs. Was expecting much higher grade based on the semester honestly.

I wonder how did they standardise the grades though, considering that I reckon most got the first 5 questions right while not many would be able to do the last question.

no. of subjects included in wam before the update = y
[wam now x ( y+2) - ( wam before x y)]/2

Does anyone know how scaling actually works with results? Is it the exam marks which are generally scaled or is it the final marks for the subject which are scaled?

If it is the final marks, would the subject coordinator say add 5 points to everybody's final mark, or would they add a different number of points depending on where you sit in the cohort (e.g. add 7 points to a score of 40 and add 3 points to a score of 80)?

If it is the exam they scale, do they add marks to everybody's exam score as above or do they change the total number of marks the exam is out of (e.g. change the total marks from 100 to 90 instead)?

I'm pretty sure there's no convention for what happens. If you want to know the precise method of scaling for a specific subject, it's probably best to ask the subject coordinator, although I'd expect them to say that it's confidential. The closest you can get without asking them directly would just be to view your exam and calculate your raw score yourself.

Thanks for your reply. You're probably right regarding confidentiality, since students don't generally find out exactly how marks are scaled.

Echoing the words of Stolenclay above. However, have a look at the guidelines on standardisation on the unimelb site:

https://policy.unimelb.edu.au/MPF1326#section-4.25

Have a look at section 4.90 - "Whenever adjustment takes place it must be documented and transparent, and the method defined and available to students."
So, technically, under university guidelines it appears to me that any standardisation must be available to students - whether that means you have to ask them? I'm not sure.

This is interesting... I'd say it may be worth a try then if you're comfortable telling them that this policy makes it necessary for them to tell you. If anything, I would bring it up at the exam viewing; I personally wouldn't react very well to someone telling me in an email that I have to disclose something to them because of a policy that I didn't know about.

A bit OT, but when re-enrolling for the 2nd year of my course and confirming the "Highest Level of Participation Details", do we leave it unchanged or include "Incomplete Bachelor" for 2017?

Thanks.

So bit of a downer here, but genuinely seeking some advice.
I've unfortunately failed a subject (46 so close yet so far). Is there really anything I can do about it (i doubt there are resits or anything?) or should i just accept it and move on? Do I have any hope in it changing between now and the offical results release?
Its terrible but I feel some relief that at least I wasn't the only one as 94/426 failed even after a bump up on the exam :P

It may be possible for you to get a supplementary exam seeing as your result is between 45-49%. Email the coordinator, you've got nothing to lose. At worst they say no, at best you get another chance. It's very subject dependent.  I got 46% on a subject last semester but unfortunately I wasn't allowed to have a supplementary exam but I know other people in other subjects were able to.

2017   Semester 2   ECON20001   Intermediate Macroeconomics   1   83   H1   First Class Honours   12.500
2017   Semester 2   ELEN20005   Foundations of Electrical Networks   1   72   H2B   Second Class Hons B   12.500

2017   Semester 2   FNCE30001   Investments   1   86   H1   First Class Honours   12.500

Pretty good except for FoEN - I'm still annoyed by that absolutely ridiculous exam that we were given, and it appears they didn't bother to make adjustments for it either.

Pretty stoked with 83 for Eng Mech, without a doubt the hardest subject I've ever done at university and to get a H1 when I didn't know what was going on half the time is surprising to say the least.

Good luck for everyone else :)

Pretty happy with most of these marks especially considering my exam timetable (at the start of the exam period I had a 4pm exam then the next day an 8:30am and 1:15pm exam).

Bit disappointed with micro econ, was hoping for higher considering how I'd done during the semester but found the exam wasn't always clear with what they wanted (particularly the last part).
So proud of my physics mark - went from knowing almost nothing and being confused all semester to knowing it pretty well and doing well on the exam :D  definitely wasn't expecting a mark like this during the semester.
Very happy with eng and linear algebra but guessing they scaled the linear exam a bit.

Managed to push my WAM up a bit  ;D just annoyed that it's 0.6 off what I want haha.

Awesome to see you're still killing it, even in postgrad.

Did you ever take programming electives to complement your maths skills? Or are you doing anything software-related in your spare time?

I did computational physics in undergrad, which was basically C for physicists
Also did numeric/symbolic in third year, which covered MATLAB + Mathematica
Doing a subject called Computational Differential Equations next semester which is going to be looking at how computers solve DEs
So yeah you do have to do some programming in maths

First year of Uni done...hard to believe, it has gone so insanely fast. Pretty happy with my results for the year but hoping to lift my WAM a bit. Sitting on 82.625.

Law in Society - H1 (84)
International Politics - H1 (87)
Free Speech and Media Law - H1 (84)
Introduction to Political Ideas - H1 (82)

Was honestly a bit of a rough semester so I'm really happy. Congratulations on your results everyone :)
