I was thinking about doing a bunch of bio and anat units as electives. Should I just change to a Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science?

You'll be w/ me for anatomy! But can't you just take them as extra elective units?

The quiz marks will be released soon they said.
Just wait until monday they said.

Broken promises - I am use to them.

What are you waiting on? I got concepts emailed back Sat morning, talk about a fast turnaround!

I got Concepts back a few hours after the quiz ~ I am waiting on a few other units. :/

I made silly mistakes.

Turn around for first year concepts and chem is amazing.

It seems like my disappointment was a little premature .

Hi guys.

If I reach the mean for the assignments, quizzes, exams etc. in a senior level mathematics unit, what grade will I most probably get? Or does USyd not grade on a curve but gives you High Distinctions if you get 85% or above, Distinctions if you get 75% or above etc.?

Thanks.

Pretty sure USYD goes by 'curves' or as its known more frequently, 'scaling'. Depending on the unit different scalings are used... Idk About senior units.

If it's a normal unit the average is a pass. If it's an advanced unit the average is a credit.

I never bump into anyone except LHS ~ I seem to go into incognito mode on everyone.

I didn't say hi to her because I was in a rush, but I generally try and stop to talk to people if I spot them, I'm just hardly on campus, and when I am I'm generally in class

Are your raw marks shown on your transcripts? I want to apply for a Masters (not offered by USyd) that requires "an average of of 65%". If only "Pass"/"Credit"/"Distinction"/"High Distinction" are shown on my transcripts, how will that university assess my qualifications?

 

[asianese]

In Australia usually the 65% mark is understood to be credit

Do you mean a raw mark of 65%, or an adjusted mark (based on a normal distribution of the marks) of 65%? Thanks.

They include the final marks on the transcript.

Any MATH people ticked off at the draconian web filters on the School's computers? Not only that, but it's impossible to SSH into...
