HD = 80 - 100%
D = 70 - 79%
C = 60 - 69%
P = 50 - 59%
NP = 45 - 49%
F = <50%

Like all grades, gauging how much work u have 2 do 4 a D isn't particularly easy.
Every subject is different, and every person is different.

I did almost nothing until exam time for Management and got a D, while I did shitloads 4 BusLaw and only got a C.

Management is like 50/50 coursework and exam right?

Do you find out how well you did on coursework?

grades are released on MUSO as they are assessed.

Not necessarily on MUSO, but yes.

It depends on department/faculty policy.
Like... I knew wot grades I got 4 my management assignments, but not wot %.
I didn't know wot tute participation score I got either, but I didn't bother 2 ask my tutor.
So I knew for management I was sitting on *around* 40 out of 50 for in-semester stuff.

BusLaw I knew the exact %s I was sitting on, same with micro but again I didn't ask 4 my tute participation score (only worth 5%).
