[UoM] 2013 Semester 1 Results Thread

Just got my second Intercultural Communication assignment back. Little bit disappointed how even when my tutor said that it was really good and made hardly any negative comments throughout the paper, she gave me only one more mark more than my previous assignment, which had a lot more constructive criticism.

Oh well. El2012, I am echoing your feels from last year.

My neurophysiology mark went up!! 95 from 93, small increase but it makes all the difference for me happy to have reached my goal for this subject!

Well done! Did they email you about the mark change or did you check the study plan?

No email and it appears to be isolated to me? I checked the plan Thank you!

SCRAP THAT, they must be updating it in order of student number because Slumdawg also got an increase.

Yep! Makes no sense.
Had the exam not have been multiple choice, I probably would have received a mark anywhere between an H3 and H2B.
Made me think twice about taking an arts breadth again.

I didn't really pay much attention to the weekly assignments and the prac work; got 95% average ish in those.

That's just amazing. My mark went up too, why does this happen? Was it incorrect before, or is it some sort of scaling?

[lzxnl]

Apparently our prac scores were entered incorrectly.

Speaking from my own experiences as a former BA student, Arts breadths are not the best choice if you're looking for a WAM boost.

In most Arts subjects, you need to write at or above the level expected of a PhD student if you want any hope of scoring 100. That means your essays must demonstrate independent and creative thought, rather than simply agree with the literature. Even if you show some capacity for creative thinking, that should be enough to get you to 85-90 - assuming that your clarity of expression and referencing are flawless, that is.

Very frustrating but that is how it is at nearly all universities.

Doesn't that mean we're somewhat disadvantaged when it comes to achieving the grades necessary for post-grad study, etc?
