Studing at Plymouth. As you say though they are desperate, stpid figures are being banded around too so all good! :p
 
Well I just got my results back and am a bit disappointed...but I guess it's a 2:1 ? (if you take the average I assume) so it's ok I suppose

Basic Mechanical Engineering Principles - 58 - B
Basic Electronic Engineering Principles - 72 - A
Engineering Applications - 56 - B
Basic Mathematical Methods II - 73 -A

I was hoping for above 80%...I need to stop partying so much. Luckily it was just the foundation year and next year I'll start on my bachelors
 
Actually do I take my average for the whole year? Or just this term?

Because if I take the average for the 8 modules I took this year it's 70.625 which I assume is a 1:1 ?

I'm still confused on the grading in this country
 
Well I referred in my major project work but I'm not too fussed as I wanted to retake way before I got my results. Wasn't happy with the projects I handed in so hopefully next year I can do better, have a better portfolio and have a chance of getting a good placement in Dubai or around.
 
waiting for my 2nd year results, get them tomorrow afternoon sometime!

Should be fun :/

gurusan:

different uni's have different systems possibly.

I know my uni drops the lowest marked module and averages out the rest :)
 
Waiting on first year results here, finished exams last week and the results are through in July I think. I'm confident that I shouldn't have to visit Sheffield in August for retakes!

At university 80% is a lot. You would have to be pretty exceptional to get that high a score.

Good luck :p

Most universities would probably never give someone 100%. It would be extremely rare for anyone to get 90%.
 
Got mine on the uni portal about a week ago, wasn't expecting it at all! 2:1 for first year chinese, happy enough, passed my other courses with exemptions from the degree exam, for averaging above 60% over the year.

Can't complain :)

True I suppose. I think they should mark a bit harsher in the first year to prepare you for the other years. After all it's not like it actually counts so it should just give the students a good kick up the arse.
 
I've still got one remaining exam left next week and then I'll be awaiting my results on the 29th June.

I'm borderline 2:1 and 1st so we'll see! One of my major-weighted exams didn't go well so I might have to settle for a 2:1 depending on other results.
