Average Mark

[Elnino_Gerrard]

Yeah I forgot about GEMSAS, because it's new, but they don't make up results for semester 2 afaik

@Elnino, we were talking specifically about medicine. Link me to the page where it says that for eng, I always thought it was 65%

http://www.eng.unimelb.edu.au/Postgrad/master-of-engineering/me_mechatronics.html

Admission to the Master of Engineering (ME) requires at least 65% GPA in the final two years of undergraduate study.

So what does this mean?

I was wondering....even though im not from Uom wether u guys get like HDs on ur essays because I got a PA and I was pretty upset and then I got a credit which is apparently good but then our credit is a 50-64%... I was wondering if it is harder to get a good score at Uom or is it the same everywhere???

It is hard to say.

It would depend on the difficulty of the assessment, the strength of the cohort and whether or not it is scaled/marked on a bell curve I guess.

P.S.  Aww, no more 'trail exams'  :p

When i got my essay back with a PA (PASS) it means that I am average (according to what i know) but that would mean that 1 half got HD and Ds and the others got FAILS??  I guess it will always depend on the cohort huh?!

P.S: I can hellp it! SHUSH! 'Trail exams' are aweesomeeeeee. maybe thats why I got a low ATAR T___T because I cant spell trail properly

If you're in first year (especially first semester) it's not uncommon for essays to be marked in a way that's different to high school (ie harder). Your marks should improve next semester. At the end of the day, it's also just subjective...had a tutor this semester who only gave one H1 per class for some...strange...reason

Call your faculty if you want to be sure, but I'm pretty certain it's just a different meaning for GPA and it's a 65% average

Was this Global Health? I also heard they marked harshly. Maybe because it's a third year subject. Are uni breadths marked on a bell curve?

[Russ]

Yes, yes it was.

[username]

Yes, yes it was.

Uh yes to both questions or yes it was hard?

[Russ]

Yes to it being Global Health. Can't speak for all tutors, just mine though

Just wondering - in terms of GPA, if we do a diploma alongside our degree, do our marks in the diploma contribute to our overall GPA for our Bachelor, or is it separate?
I thought it would be separate but I am not certain.
