Good stuff guys!

OB - H2A
Cost Mangement - H1
Introductory Econometrics - H2A

Pretty happy overall, always annoying when you're just that little bit off H1 but I'm not complaining. An H1 for my breadth would really top it off fingers crossed.

Weeeeeee

QM2: H1
Cost Mgt: H1

Phew

OB YOU CAN GO TO HELL.

You must have performed exceedingly well on the exam. I had a similar experience with Aus. Pol. last year. I got a H2A for both the take home assessments and then after completing the exam I got an overall mark of 88.
Very strange.

[Russ]

Biomed core probably won't be out till the 9th since there are two papers to mark and they were both sat late.

[darlok]

hurry up business finance.

Very strange.

I think it was because the word count wasn't enforced.
I wrote like 32 pages for 8 questions.
And each question was meant to be 250 words.
I always do better when I can say as much as I want.
I was so surprised when I saw 80 though!  I literally expected around a 74.

LOL 250 WORDS? What a joke. That is like writing two sentences for me hahaha.
Who is the subject coordinator? They've obviously changed the exam format considerably. We wrote two extended essay questions in 2009. Filled about one script book for each.

[QuantumJG]

I hate it when that happens! Last year I got a 79 for Physics 1 and a 78 this year for Quantum Mechanics. My H1 count - only 1.

Biology of Cells and Organisms: 76
Happy that it'll give me the 5.0 for extension study..

That is an awesome mark.

Who is the subject coordinator? They've obviously changed the exam format considerably. We wrote two extended essay questions in 2009. Filled about one script book for each.

I know I wrote 4 pages per Q. instead because I asked and he was like "Oh yeah that's fine the limit is just because the University requires one".  Yep.  And also, he told everyone that like, 70 words was considerably enough was probably all they would get time to write.  I was like "Um I write like 50 000 words a minute what happens to me!?".  It takes me much more time to try and stay under word limits than it does to go over it.  It takes me like 2 hours to write an essay and then 48 to cut 1000 words out of it just so it will fit under the stupid leeway.

The exam format was changed!  It turned into a short answer exam, so like, 10 questions were there but only 8 had to be answered.
Each was worth 5 marks and you merely had to make 5 points to get 5 marks, you didn't have to argue anything.
Each was written in a different script book to be marked by a different tutor who was allocated the same Q.  So one tutor marked all script books which answered Q1 etc.  I thought that was a good way to do it, not like the essays where the bitch I had gave nobody a H1 and failed to understand the concept of a bell curve.  As well as taking marks off for absolutely no reason when questioned.

Anyway yep, it was piss easy.  The Qs were like 'What is the difference between Presidential and Parliamentary systems?  If Australia had become a republic, which would it have become?  Which system is Australia now?'.  That was literally Q1.
There was another that was just
Q10: 'What is the difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives?' ._.
