Consequential marks?

[crappy]

Do they have consequential marks at monash? in my eng exam yesterday, I made stupid errors at the start of some questions but my working was all correct and the answer was usually off by one digit, eg, I put 4e^0.6t, when it was actually 6e^0.6t,

So if the question was worth 10 marks, they would surely have to give me some marks right? how many would they take off?

The amount of marks to be taken off depends on the inaccuracy of your calculations. (E.g. if you used a formula incorrectly)
They would give you marks provided that the calculations are correct based on the values you used - similar to VCE.

ohh ok, yeah all my working was correct, except for that tiny mistake at the beginning which happened to make a massive difference. oh well

It is possible. I know my Astronomy lecturer said he trys to avoid consequential marks and you do require answers from another question in one of your later questions and its wrong he'd take that into account and you'd get marks for working.

But every lecturer is different.

YES INDEED.

I hope I get consequential marks for one of my eng subjects this semester. The way the markers mark it will be the difference between whether or not I pass (I always seem to never get the correct answer on my first attempt when doing lengthly calculations )

I would hope that since university scoring is not as stringently bureaucratic as vce scoring, the emphasis would be on how much you are capable of doing, and not how accurate you were on the day.

This certainly seems like the vibe from my lecturers, anyway
