unisa assignment pass mark 2022

Thank so much for the insight information.

Im doing chl2601 and it doesn’t have exam my year mark is 48.98% will thy apply adjustment policy too. ?

mine is 47% ,,i wonder if there is an adjustment policy in this case to get 50% to graduate, all other modules passed with distinctions.so if not i must re do one mode the whole of next year, IOP4864

I want to know if you have done a report module how you go about having it reevaluated if you got 45% and an external marker has also gone over your work.

Are you referring to a research module by any chance? If you have already sent out your exam for a remark and received feedback, then you will have to accept the result of the remarked exam. Which module are you referring to?

Good afternoon. I want remarking on SCK 4801. Student:48519340.

You would have to apply for a remark at UNISA. Apply by sending an email to [email protected] , with the student number indicated in the subject heading.

Good Day! Say a student decide to buy his/her exam script and find that it was wrongfully marked or the marks given as exam marks are not according to the marked script. What steps should he/she tales to correct that mistake?

Unfortunately there is no procedure available when it comes to discrepancies. What you “could possibly do” is purchase your exam script and check whether your mark that you’ve received for your exam correlates with your work. Afterwards, you could apply for a remark of your exam paper if you feel like it was marked incorrectly.

Good morning, I have question about a final Mark. As to say for example I have obtained 49,4% on certain module that does not provide supplements as it was a portfolio exam(SJD1501). Hence i would like to know what is to expect as so say every University has an adjustment policy for such cases but I seriously find hard to believe . So I would like to know what is to expect a fail or a pass in such case?

Unisa does have an adjustment policy in place in the event that you would receive a mark of 48 or 49 percent on your final mark. In such cases and according to Unisa’s policy, the mark will be adjusted to 50%. If your mark was, for example, 46 or 47%, the examiner/lecturer can either leave the mark as is or adjust it to 50%

Will the adjustment policy apply if I got 47.38 %

Why the year mark didn’t add there ?

Good day, I’m a LLB student. I received my result for fundamental rights module today. My mark was only 34%. I don’t want to Justify it, but I really really feel hard done by outcome and furthermore I can’t submit for remark I feel an injustice to the outcome and can’t help integrity and accuracy of marking process. I would still like to submit for remark. I do acknowledged the 35% benchmark but I won’t be at ease repeating module feeling hard done by marking process. Regards William Ngoma 0765486305

I’m sorry to see that not only you failed your module, but you missed out on a remark by 1%. Unisa is pretty strict about their rules, so I’m not sure if it’s at all possible to bend the rules because you just missed out.

It’s highly unlikely that they would accept your remark request, but it’s best that you go to your nearest Unisa regional center, speak to a student advisor and find out whether you can or not.

Thanks my man. So I register for module this semester again?

Yes, you would have to register for the module again this semester. The sooner the better.

Good Day Respected Hope you are well

I have emailed professors but awaiting response. I was referred to you, hope you can assist.

I have completed my BeD degree with a CumLaude. I have completed 3/5 honours modules with distinctions. I passed the one without even doing the contingency assignment.

However in my HREDU portfolio, an error on my mark was made. My assignment 4 was not added and it showed 40%, then after various emails showing calculations and proof, it got corrected to 46%. I am aware that 46% is still a fail. But it is my final mark , & I read on a Unisa website a 4% adjustment can be made and was given to some students. It is my final module to complete my honours. Please try to assist me. All prove is attached below.

The audit process is occurring at the moment and I don’t want it to be too late to make any adjustments. I am told my matter is getting communicated and I should wait , yet I am waiting from the 12th of March.

Thank you for your assistance Much appreciated

Good day. I’m a LLB student. I just received my PVL2601 marks today and I am unsatisfied and also worried that I won’t be able to apply for a remark because the closing date was on the 29th of July. I obtained 35%, and I qualify to apply for a remark my concern is that it is closed for applications.

Considering that the due date for a remark of exam scripts are closed, yet multiple students are still waiting for their results, it shouldn’t be out of the question that Unisa might extend the remark date.

Although Unisa has not said anything, please confirm with Unisa whether it will be extended or not. You can contact the Exam Remark department at [email protected] or head to your nearest Unisa campus and enquire about the exam remark.

Thank you , I’ll go to the nearest campus to enquire.

Good morning I want to know how can I claim back my remark fees payment as I applied for Enn1504 remark for last semester but still no feed back.I decided to write again during these exams and l just received my new result,already pass.What can I do to get my money back?

Can i cancel my remark.

Hi please help me I got would like to apply for a remark on TPF3701 since I got 36%

Where to find the application form

And how to.make payment for a remark

Is a portfolio exam remark-able. I got 40% with no year mark added on my results.

Unisa states that only mark-reading sheets and the practical component of an exam cannot be remarked. You should be able to submit your exam portfolio for a remark.

Can I still apply for Social Justice and Dimension (SJD1501) last portfolio 7.

That might might affect my potential sponsor thinking towards my results.

Hi, I am a BEd Final year student, wrote exam on Oct/Nov 2023 and was negetively affected on the RCE2601 module portfolio with “Examination error 0 mark” after being resolved I got 39% which I still doubt the correctness of results. I tried to apply for remark but the system doesn’t allow me. yet I qualify for remark. Will I possibly qualify for FI Concession since I am only left with RCE2601 module to complete my qualification. Is there any possible for remark?

According to UNISA, FI-concessions only apply to students who have less than 24 credits outstanding to complete their qualification . Students must have written the previous examination and failed the examination in the one/two outstanding module(s) during the last examination session.

Considering these factors and what you have said, you would likely qualify for a FI Concession. Is the 39% your final semester mark or is that your exam marks? Regardless of that, you do need to have gotten at least 30% from your exam to qualify for one.

I am one of those students who are not happy about the exam result, something is not adding up here how do u supp something that you are sure you wrote the corrects answers,but still receive a supp/fail this is really confusing. this got me thinking about Who was really marking our scripts? I demand a remark i am not really satisfied about this. Unisa has so many issues i wonder if they even care about our queries and issues or they are just another quick money making skeem.

How do i cancel remarking? I haven’t paid fees yet.

I have applied for remark even today so i have not receive any results

It does say that it may take a while to get your remarked results. It would be best to enquire about it to a student advisor at your nearest UNISA campus.

I have apply for remarking I didn’t receive any result

Good day Are there any application forms to be completed for a remark application and if so, where can it be downloaded from?

I received my final mark today for module PBA4802 and i failed. My year mark was not added to the portfolio exam mark because i got less than 40% for the portfolio. It doesn’t make sense at all and i feel the results are not accurate. How do I request for my portfolio exam script?

You can either apply for a remark of your portfolio exam (read more on that here ) or you can purchase your portfolio exam script via applying in writing for a copy of the prescribed application form via e-mail: [email protected] (student number must appear in the subject heading) or fax at 012 429 4150.

I received my final mark today and I have failed I don’t understand because my year mark was 98.75% and my final mark is 29% i need to know where can I download the remark of the script.

I would like to find out what happens if you purchase an exam script (in this case a mark reading sheet)and find some discepancies, can i then apply for a remark? I wrote a module which i am certain that i did pretty well but got 32% which doesnt allow me to apply for a remark because the benchmark starts at 35%

Mark-reading sheets are not subject to a remark. The answers are marked electronically and not by a lecturer. All answers are preloaded onto a machine, so there’s no room for error in this regard. So unfortunately you may want to re-register for that particular module of choice.

I am not satisfied with the result I got I think my scripts were not marked coz they gave me the same marks as 2014 and 2016 how possible is that

It’s possible to have your exam scripts reviewed. However, there is a specific timeframe in which you can apply for a remarking of your exam script. At the same time, you need to meet the requirements set by UNISA in order to qualify for a remark.

Closing date for applications of remarking an exam script from the October/November exams is 31 January 2020.

Hi. Please assist… I wrote a PyC2601 MCQ exam in November 2019. I had 18% as my final mark and I strongly disagree with it. I had studied for the exam and wrote well. I was pretty confident I’d obtain above 60%. 18% is just shocking! I can’t apply for a remark since it’s an MCQ exam but I’m certain something went wrong either on my side or unisa. I really need to know what went wrong. I know the scripts are marked by a system but does it also capture the final mark automatically on the database? Please advise as I need to get to the bottom of this. I feel it’s no use repeating the module when I do not kno what my mistake was because I wrote exactly what I studied. I feel that it could be, Unisa erroneously captured my final mark or I erroneously captured my answers (which I doubt because I always double check my answers before handing in my script) on the sheet but something is definitely not right. I will purchase a copy of my script but without the memo it’s pointless. Please advise.

If you can get a hold of the exam paper, then you can conduct an open book exam of your own and see whether you’ve actually gotten 18% or not. You would have to purchase a copy of your script though for this to work so that you can do it correctly.

As you’ve said, MCQs are reviewed and marked by a system so it’s hard to conclude that your exam was incorrectly marked. Have you reached out to fellow PYC2601 students who also felt something was wrong with their exam results? Keep in mind that the system will not capture results that were filled in with a pen, but as you’re a second year student, you would already know that by now.

Good day I’ve applied for a remark since last semester, a month after applying the module reappeared in my modules list on myUnisa as registered (i registered in 2018 then couldnt write in the same period so i had an Aegrotat the following semester) for semester 2 2018, i’ve sent emails to the Cas department and still no answer… so what does it mean?did they make me pass or i have to write a supp or something ?

Your final exam results will show whether the module in question is subject to a supplementary exam or not. However, I’m a bit confused because you mentioned that you were registered for the module for the second semester in 2018. Download a copy of your academic record. It will highlight the modules that you have already passed. If the module in question does not appear, then it’s most likely that you would have to register and rewrite that module.

Good Day, I have received 100% for both Assignments 1 and 2 for Module MNB1601, however have obtained 36% in the exams. Taking into account the answers for the Mark Reading Sheets are preloaded onto a machine and there’s no room for error for electronic marking, is there a possibility that the results could have been given to the incorrect student? I ask this as I can’t understand how I have obtained 100% for two assignments but fail for the same exam.

Remember that assignments and the exam are two completely different beasts. It could be possible but at the same time, highly unlikely. It’s also unfortunate that your exam was conducted with a mark reading sheet. This essentially rules out the possibility of an exam remark.

Unfortunately you may have to accept the mark as is and redo your MNB1601 module.

I got 37% on Fac3704 , I purchased my script already , I just wa t to know if I can get the lecture to help go through my script , should I get the 3 marks and get sub minimum, will my year mark be still applicable?

You should apply for a remark regarding your FAC3703 module if you feel like you’ve gotten lower than you should. Closing date for students to apply for a remark of their UNISA exam script is 31 January 2020.

But you did not answer Zama’s question whether the year mark would still be applicable…would it?

Can I get a private tutor to look at my script , and if there are any discrepancies can Unisa change my marks?

Good afternoon, I failed ABT1512 with 45%,then I apply for remarking on the 20th of December still not getting my feedback.

Remarking results will be made available to students more or less 2 months after the closing date of the remark process. In this case, the closing date for the October/November 2019 remark process in 31 January 2020.

So you can expect your remark results in March/April.

I hope that you are well.

I applied for my remark. Still awaiting results.

Do you have any idea when it will be made available due to the lockdown in SA?

Kind regards

Thanks for the kind words, Kiasha. If you applied for a remark at or before the due date, you were supposed to receive feedback by now. The lockdown shouldn’t affect the remark process.

Hi, I have also applied for a remark with no response from UNISA. I contacted the course head lecturer and she advised that she is unable to assist me. I have sent 14 emails to the remark department with no response. Now I am preparing to write the sup as this is the last module to complete my qualification. Very sad times :(

So sorry to hear. You should have gotten a response by now, so this is quite the lengthy delay for a remark.

Same problem…

Dear Dylan,

Kindly please explain the below extract from the MRL3701 Tutorial letter.

“To pass this module, you must obtain a subminimum of 50% for the combined semester mark and the examination mark”.

This means that you need a minimum of 50% in order to pass the module. Marks for your exam as well as your assignments will count for your module.

Thank you for your quick response. Kind regards

I qualify for a remark as I fit within the required 68 – 74%. My hesitation is how often do people get a lower mark after a remark?

Unfortunately, I do not have the stats on whether students get a higher/lower mark upon remark. It’s all depends on whether you feel like you should have gotten a higher mark or not. In your instance, there’s not much of a risk as you’ve already passed the module. I’m under the assumption though that you’re aiming for a distinction in your module, right?

Hi, what reference number do I use when I make a payment for remark?

According to UNISA, this falls under miscellaneous fees. These fees may be added to your study fees, so you would use the same reference number as your study fees (5400374721)

Hello I would like to find out how long does it take to receive final concession assesment results for pyc 2601 October/N ovember 2019. I submitted on the due date 26 february 2020 and still have not receive results whether i was sucessfull or not.

It would be a few months before you will receive your FI Concession exam results, so expect feedback on your results in April/May.

I got a 61 % in my portfolio as my final mark.The course work l got 76% and the exam portfolio 46% .The 61% final mark for the portfolio exam does not qualify for a remark.I strongly believe the person who marked my portfolio ignored certain key components in it .When l compiled my final portfolio l checked the guide that was given to us. There is no way l could have messed my final portfolio and this can prejudice my chances for further studies.What can l do if l want a remark

While you can’t unfortunately apply for a remark, it is possible for you to purchase your portfolio and see why they marked the way they did.

Forward an e-mail to [email protected] to purchase your exam portfolio. Remember to include your student number in the subject line and the module code in the body of the e-mail.

Fees for payment of your exam portfolio can be found here .

I applied for remarking Eng1501since begining of Januuary till now I did not reveive my result and is the only module a left with to complete my course

Contact Unisa’s Remark department at [email protected] to find out about why has there been no new news on your Unisa exam remark.

You can contact [email protected] until you are blue in the face; they are pathetic to say the least.

Hi Kgomotso I’m im the same situation .. left with only this one module to complete my degree .. such a sad situation

Did you eventually get your remark results or you had to re-do the whole module again?

I had that if you left with only one module exam department can give you a portfolio or Fi concession but I did not receive any of those and I left with only one module to complete I registered only one module which is now a year module.I would have completed in May/June now the course is a year module .

I am enquiring in regard to remarking that I didn’t receive the outcome yet and I will be writing the same module again on 21 October 2020. I wanted to know before I started my exam.

Regard Simon Ngwenya 0790922839

Please note that we are not Unisa. Contact details for Unisa’s Remarking division can be found within the article.

Hello I want to know how they calculate the the final mark..because if I use 20% for both assignment and 80% for examination I’m getting lost because I got 78% for my exam and 90% year mark for my assignments then I got 80% for final year mark…my main concern is how? Just for future calculations. Thank you

Hi, Kinddly assist i got 39%on my portfolio and it says adjustment policy applied with final mark of 40%,but year mark is not applied

You could apply for a remark of your portfolio as you fall within the threshold regarding the remarking of Unisa scripts (39% to 49%). No closing date has been given yet for students to apply for a Unisa remark as yet.

Hi I wish to know what will happen if I purchase my script and find that there are discrepancies in marking of my script. Should I ask my lecture to look at my script or what because I really feel that my script is wrong marked and at the same time I do not qualify for remarking

Is it possible to write a supplementary exam while you have applied for remarking i got 40% for PYC4812 i can’t open the timetable on my life and there is nothing on my time table on myunisa. The results now are saying outstanding does that mean i have forfeited an opportunity to write supplementary examination.

How do i cancel a request for a remarking of a script?

i have applied and payed for remark on my TMS3726 December 2020 till to date, i have not receive my marks.

Hi What is a procedure to apply for a review/remark of portfolio for a practical module

16 April 2021 is the closing date of the remarking for exam written in Jan/Feb 2021,

I received 45% supp on my exam and applied for a remark and received an email stating that yhe results will be ready 2 months after closing date. Can I still write the supplementary in the meantime ordo I have to wait for the remark results? And if yes which results will be considered as final?

I was studying higher certificate in accounting sciences from 2020 then I passed all 9 subjects in total.i failed 1 module during oct/nov 2021 exams.the last subject mark was updated today on the 4th Jan 2022.the module I failed is Enn1504 will I be able to qualify for fi Concession? I m aware you don’t apply for fi Concession instead you qualify.

However I had initially applied to study bcom financial accounting for 2022.and the application was pending due to outstanding results.

If I do get fi concession will the results come back in time before closing of registration?or will I have to apply from scratch for 2nd semester?

Lastly is it possible to find out if I qualify for fi Concession?

good day i am a final year student where by i fail legal philosophy by getting 40 percent and it seems as if there is no supplementary , can anyone assist what can i do i am really confused

Is there a reference number for payment of remarking , i am still owing UNISA alot of money that i will be able to pay later on but for now i want the remarking to be processed.

Unfortunately you have to wait at the mercy of UNISA for feedback on your exam remark. Have you given them a call as yet? There are phone numbers available on https://www.unisa.ac.za/sites/corporate/default/Contact-us/Student-enquiries , which gives you more options to get in touch with someone who can help.

I was doing my final semester. I have one continuous assessment module with 47.1% final mark. Meaning I am left with just this one to complete my qualification. Will adjustment policy apply? Is Final concession going to apply?

Greetings Sir or Madam. I’d like to find out if the adjustment rule apply at this module: ecs1501 i got 49.35

Hi. I received 40% on my exam and 65.6% on my year mark, my final mark is then 45%. Does adjustment policy apply in this instance? this is for MAT1511

Good Morning I just got my results for Advanced Programming (COS3711) and I passed the exam with a 54% but had a low year mark of 13% and the final mark using the 70%/30% aggregate came down to 42% which is a “fail”. In the recent exams if one passed the exam and the exam mark was higher than the year mark or if the year mark disadvantaged the student, the year mark would be disregarded. I just wanted to find out if that has changed, this is my last module left to complete the course.

How Do You Calculate Final Marks?

How Do You Calculate Final Examination Marks?

After an assignment or examination has been taken by a student and the assignment has been reviewed, each student has got a score. Most likely, the score is not representing the final result for the student. Often, the score needs to be calculated into marks. Sometimes the score is corrected before it is turned into a mark.

Usually, as it is known among many schools, colleges and universities, teachers are the ones that are responsible for giving grades to their students at the end of an examination, but it will be a great feeling for students to be able to calculate their final grades using marks they obtained at the end of every semester or examination. By maintaining a record of the scores from your individual assignments and assessments, you can double-check your teacher’s grading and make sure the correct grade registers.

Calculating your grade allows you to determine the scores you need to reach or maintain your desired grade. For example, if you find that your current grade is a C, you can figure out what you need to earn on your final exam to boost your final grade to a B. Alternatively, if you currently have an A or B, you can determine the minimum score you need to keep that grade.

How To Calculate Final Marks At Unisa

The year-mark contribution towards the final examination mark is calculated as follows: 50% of the mark obtained for assignment 01 Plus 50% of the mark obtained for assignment 02.

If you only submit assignment 01, your year mark will be 50% of the mark obtained for this assignment. This will then be your year mark out of a possible 100%. If, for example, you obtain 80% for assignment 01 and 0% for assignment 02, your year mark will be 40%.

According to university policy, you require a sub-minimum of 40% in the examination before your year mark is taken into consideration. In other words, if you do not obtain at least 40% in the examination, you will automatically fail, and your final mark will be the mark you obtained in the examination.

A final mark of 50% is required to pass this module. This final mark is calculated as follows: (10% x of the year mark) + (90% x mark obtained in the examination)

Final Mark Calculation Options

There are three main options that can be used to calculate the final marks of an examination, which include: formula, table or none.

Marks Calculated Using Formular:

The formula option allows you to create a mark calculation based on two parameters:

• Points: the number of points earned by the student
• Total: the total amount of points that a student can earn for the assignment

There are multiple functions and operators available which can be used to set the formula:

• Math operators: + , – , * , / , ^
• Logic functions: IF, AND, OR
• Comparison operators: <, >, <=, >=, !=, =
• Numeric functions: MIN, MAX, ROUND, ROUNDUP, ROUNDDOWN
• It’s possible to insert parentheses to determine the order of (parts of) the formula

The default formula used by Ans is 1 + 9 * points/total. This translates the score into a mark on a scale of 1 to 10.

Marks Calculated Using The Table Option:

Within the table, there are actually two different possibilities to insert a table in the answer. The first option is to manually insert or import a table, the second option is to let answers create a table based on the cut-off score.

Manually Create A Table

The first option is to manually create a table by either adding each row by hand or by importing a table from a .csv file. On the screen, you will see the following buttons and fields:

• Rounding: choose the desired rounding of the mark. This can be either two decimals, one decimal, halves or whole numbers. A table always rounds down. Every row in the table can be seen as a threshold. A student needs to score the number of points or a row in order to receive the corresponding mark. In the example below, a student that has got 2.5 points, will receive a mark of 2 as the number of points in the next row has not been scored.    Final Examination Marks
• Import: it’s possible to import a table that you created outside Ans. A table can be imported via a .csv file, with at least the columns ‘Points’ and ‘Marks’. Additionally, you can add a letter grade as a third column. A template can be found when you click on Import .
• Export: in case you have a table created that you want to reuse for other purposes or other assignments, you can export it. This button is not clickable when there is not a single row.
• Add row: to add a row to your column manually, you can click the button and insert the number of points with the corresponding mark. Optionally you can add a letter grade, such as sufficient, or insufficient. To edit or delete a row, you can press the more_vert – icon.
• Determine cut-off score: this is the second way to create a table. This option is described below.

Automatically Generated Table

When grading with a table, you have the option to determine the grading of the results using the cut-off score. By determining the minimum grade, pass grade, maximum grade, maximum points and cut-off percentage, you can create a grading table that supports a cut-off score:

Click on  Determine cut-off score to start. If you want to edit an existing table, you can also click on this button. Ans will show the previously entered information which you can adjust.

In the pop-up that appears, you can enter the following information:

• Minimum mark: The minimum mark is the mark a student gets when scoring the minimum amount of points.
• Pass mark: The pass mark is the mark which counts as the threshold of passing the assignment. All students with a rounded mark lower than the pass mark have not passed the assignment. This information is used to determine the pass rate for the assignment.
• Maximum mark: The maximum mark is the mark a student gets when scoring the maximum amount of points.   Final Examination Marks
• Minimum points: This is the number of points a student needs to score to get the minimum mark.
• Maximum points: This is the number of points a student needs to score to get the maximum mark. Ans shows the maximum amount of points that can be scored for the assignment. Ans also provides information that can be used to apply the caesura method of Cohen-Schotanus*. Based on this method you adjust the maximum score for an assignment after taking the assignment. The new maximum score is then equalled by the score of either the 95th or 90th percentile.
• Cut-off (%): In this field, you fill in the score (in percentage) that equals the pass mark. As an example, we take an assignment with a maximum amount of points of 100 points, a pass mark of 5.5 and a cut-off of 70%. In this scenario a student needs to score at least 70% of 100 points (= 70 points) to get a 5.5. This would create a non-linear caesura.
• Mark rounding: The mark rounding needs to be determined in this menu, as Ans (re)calculates the table once you click on  Save . You have the option to set the mark rounding to whole numbers, halves and one decimal.

The third and most easy option to explain is the option  None in the dropdown menu. When using no mark calculation, the score will not be translated into a mark. The mark is not visible in other parts of the platform where the mark is visible when using the formula or the table method. Examples are the  Results menu and the publication of an assignment.

How Do You Calculate Final Marks 2023

Example One

• The current grade is 70% (or C-).
• The final exam weight is 50%.
• The required grade is 80% (or B-).

Calculation:

The final exam grade is equal to the required grade, minus 100% minus the final exam weight (w) times the current grade (g), divided by the final exam weight (w):

Final exam grade =

• = ( required grade – (100% – w )× current grade ) / w
• = ( 80% – (100% – 50%)×70% ) / 50% = 90%

So the final exam grade should be 90% (or A-).

Final Examination Marks

Example Two

• Assignment 1: weight1=50%, grade1=16 out of 20.
• Assignment 2: weight2=30%, max grade=30.
• Assignment 3: weight3=20%, max grade=40.
• Find the average grade in assignments 2 and 3 needed to get a class grade of 85%.

Calculation Method:

Current grade = Assignment 1 grade = grade1 / max grade1 = 16/20 = 0.8 = 80%

• Required grade = 85%
• Final exam weight = w = weight2+weight3 = 30%+20% = 50%
• = ( 85% – 50%×80% ) / 50% = 90%

This means that you have to get an average grade of 90% in assignments 2 and 3 in order to get a class grade of 85%.

• Assignment 2 grade = 90% × max grade = 90% × 30 = 27

The example below presents one way that faculties have found helpful to calculate grades. Please consult your department to ensure that your grading rubric aligns with any relevant department or school policies. Below are the steps to be used to calculate Midterm Final Grades:

1) To calculate a weighted midterm grade , add the weighted percentages for each grade and divide by the % of grades completed by the midpoint of the semester. If some students, but not all students, have been graded for an assignment at the midpoint, you should exclude that grade. In the example below, not all students have made their Presentations by the midpoint of the semester, so that grade will not be included in midterm grade calculations:

• Midterm Grade = (.20*Homework) +(.25* Exam 1) + (.15*Paper 1) (.20+.25+.15)
• Midterm Grade = (.20*75) +(.25* 85) + (.15*90)/ 60
• Midterm Grade = 15 +21.25 + 13.5 / 60
• Midterm Grade = 49.75 = 82.91% / 60

2) To calculate a final grade – add the weighted percentages for each grade:

• Final Grade = (.20*Homework) +(.25* Exam 1) + (.15*Paper 1) +(.25*Pres 1) + (.15*Paper 2)
• Final Grade = (.20*75) +(.25* 85) + (.15*90) +(.25*60) + (.15*85)
• Final Grade = 15 +21.25 + 13.5 +15 + 12.75
• Final Grade = 77.5

Topic outline, what does my numerical mark mean grading descriptors.

Wondering what the difference is between a 62 and a 72?

Here is the guide to marks that we give to our markers when they grade your work.

Grading Descriptors

The following statement indicates broadly the meaning of assignment grades for your final work:

95-100 (High Distinction) An assignment graded at or above 95% is clearly superior to the vast majority of work that is normally presented at this level of university study, over a number of years and is already suitable for public presentation, excepting editorial amendment. Grades above 95% are rarely awarded.

85-94 (High Distinction) An assignment graded at this level is, in all but a few respects, outstanding work for university assignments at the year level of the unit; such assignments exceed in at least some respects, the expected level of work for students at this level. Such assignments would, with minor additional work, be suitable for public presentation. Only a few of all students completing a particular assignment will obtain grades above 85%.

75-84 (Distinction) An assignment graded at this level is, on the whole, very good work for university assignments at the year level of the unit; such assignments meet all of the main criteria against which the assignment is being marked and, at the upper percentage range, may show outstanding performance in some respects. A distinction assignment is one that, with substantial additional work, would be suitable for public presentation. Students who receive such grades are doing very well at their studies, noting that consistent results above 75% indicate superior performance to the majority of students in a class.

65-74 (Credit) An assignment graded at this level is creditable and clearly acceptable work for university assignments at the year level of the unit; such assignments meet the main criteria against which the assignment is being marked or meet some criteria very well and not others not so well. Students completing such assignments are doing reasonably well at their studies, especially if their work is consistently at the higher end of the percentage scale. Such assignments would, with limited revision, be capable of achieving a distinction. A 74% average is one sign of the ability to progress to more advanced study.

50-64 (Pass 1/Pass 2 (50-54)) An assignment graded as passing is broadly acceptable for university assignments at the year level of the unit; such assignments meet, to some extent, the main criteria against which the assignment is being marked or meet a few criteria and not others. Students who receive passing grades have a basic grasp of the subject matter and/or are making some effort at the assignment. Such work would require substantial revision to enable it to achieve a distinction.

00-49 (Fail) Such an assignment fails, in major respects, to achieve the minimum standard for university assignments at the year level of the unit and has failed to address some of the main criteria against which the assignment is being marked. Students who receive failing grades are either not grasping the subject matter, or not making a suitable attempt at the assignment or both. Such work is poor and even substantial revision would not enable it to achieve a distinction result.
