Calculating grades

[sajib_mostofa]

Does anyone know how your overall grade is calculated for each unit? Is it simply summing up all the totals from your assesments or is it more complex than that?

[jimmy999]

Each assessment has a particular weighting. It's pretty much percentage score times weighting, then it's all summed up. You can make a nice excel spreadsheet using that formula for all of your subjects

Cool thanks man

Check your unit outline for weighings.

There'll be a page that says something like:

Assign 1       15%
Assign 2       20%
Mid-sem       20%
Exam           45%

Found it, cheers Fyrefly

I would do anything for my exams to be worth less than 80%.

My Jap exam is 30%... jealous?

[chap]

does it have to specifically say if a unit has a hurdle requirement? Cause I only know for sure that one of mine does, but 2 other subjects have exams worth 50% and 60% of the final grade, yet say nothing about needing to pass, this means it is pretty easy to pass with decent grades through the semester..

Yeah.  Can I sit it? 

EDIT:  On second thoughts, no.  I don't want any more exams.  3 exams worth 80% are killing me.

Are you serious? Whats it for?

I have 60% for Micro, 70% for Maths, 70% for Business Stats, and 70% for computing.

That said it comes at a bit of a relief that I can afford to drop quite a lot of marks on most of them (not computing) and still get a high grade
