if I want an A I need to actually get somewhere in the region of 80% on the hardest paper

probability and statistics 2

So they combine the marks or...?

I'm so lost on school systems nowadays - I'm worse than my grandma

 

[Tom]

yep, they combine the marks from 6 modules. To get an A you need a total of 80% Each exam is out of 60, so you need an average of 48

 

[Slagathor]

wow ... sounds intensive! So basically, if you screw up one exam it haunts you the rest of the year?

 

[Tom]

you can get 80% 80% 80% 80% 80% and 79% (thats 5 A's and a B) and your overall grade will be a B. Its ridiculous really.

If you get 100% 100% 100% 60% 60% 60% you get an A, even though you got 3 C grades!

 

[Slagathor]

What a stupid system :undecide:

 

[Tom]

tell me about it. No reward at all for getting consistent A grades. One bad score and you go down a grade

I love Phil Collins. I think his best album is "Dance Into the Light" I don't know if it cam out in the 80's but that's really a fantastic album...do you know it?

 

[Tom]

judging by the tracklisting I think I know it, I'm pretty sure its in my dad's collection, I'll have to fish it out.
