can anyone post the method of calculating GPA ?
Hmm Sarah...I think if subjects are credited to your degree, they will count in your WAM. All my 1st year subjects that I did under B.Economics count towards my B.Commerce WAM. (I also had a "T" for all my 1st year subjects)Sarah said:Even when you transfer within UNSW and you get subjects credited from your previous degree to your current degree, a "T" appears next to the subject.
Your WAM starts again even if you get subjects transferred over.
e.g If i did Micro and Macro under B Arts and transferred to B Commerce, my commerce wam would not include the micro and macro subjects. It would have a "T" next to those subjects through.
That's kinda correct. i've been at uni for 3 semester, switched between 3 degrees (in a sort of way)Sarah said:It's calculated based on the amount of subjects u completed in the last degree you did.
At UNSW I also think your GPA/WAM is reset when you transfer to another degree within the uni. At least on my academic transcript, there;s a different WAM for the degree i started off with in comparision to the degree i trasnferred to
Exactly what i was thinking, however couldn't think of the words.gman03 said:I thought everyone's acadamic statement have term WAMs, accumulated WAM and total unit studied....
I dont know what subjects you are refering to but there are many courses wich are very easy to fail of you slip up a bit.bearpooh said:So dont fail.
The subjects are easy enough that nobody should fail if they have studied.
Like biohemroutemarker said:I dont know what subjects you are refering to but there are many courses wich are very easy to fail of you slip up a bit.
My academic transcript looks similar to Ace's one.Minai said:Hmm Sarah...I think if subjects are credited to your degree, they will count in your WAM. All my 1st year subjects that I did under B.Economics count towards my B.Commerce WAM. (I also had a "T" for all my 1st year subjects)

seng/sci
seng
seng/comm
on my transcript(academic results whatever), its got
se/sci - wam (first semester)
se - wam (first 2 semesters)
se/comm - will be the first 3 semesters
its kinda weird, the wam is there i think on the old ones, just to denote "i was once in that degree or something".
Supp is not on until the 19th.Survivor39 said:Like biohem
How was the supplementary?
And one more thing, if molecular biolology (adv) in the session 2 is anything like biochem, i am gonna die.
Not fair! you have so much time to study! Remember to study for structures of chemical too. LOL Yes that's right, they asked about structures..routemarker said:Supp is not on until the 19th.
mol bio is much easier than biochem, believe me. It all about that nucleic acid DNA. Although electrophoresis is a bitch.
if that's the case then it sux for me. i'm transferring from comm/comp sci to seng/comm. bad thing for me is that i failed comp1b in s105 due to the gay prac exam. but what i was going to do is when i do my credit transfers, i wasn't going to list comp1b, so my fail won't transfer over to my new degree, and then i would re-do it in summer and kill it this time.Sarah said:My academic transcript looks similar to Ace's one.
My current WAM is exactly the same as my previous WAM. But it's impossible for my current wam to be as it is becuase i didn't get all my subjects transferred to the degree i'm currently doing.
Unless my statement contains an accumulated WAM for every single subject i have done. But i thought WAM is calculated based on subjects that count towards your degree?

u reckon it'll work?
You will not able to remove the failed course from your record...... however you may able to hide it in future ( i don't know how thou).J0n said:Hmm, I failed elec1011, and was planning on repeating it this session, and doing math 1B in summer session (instead of s2).
BUT, elec was just an elective for me, so would it be a better idea for me to do a different subject this session? i.e. would doing a different elective this time let me remove the fail from my record?
Also if I get that 50, will my academic statement for session 1 be updated and make my MATH2029 into a pass instead of a fail?If I fail a course, I have many options:
-I can say to myself "stuff it! im not even gonna bother trying that course again"
OR
-I can either just aim to pass this time and not really care (which will be easier the second time)
OR
-I can try real hard to get an excellent mark not just a pass.... in order to rewrite a wrong.
But it seems as there is no point in striving for the last option because it's not even gonna be recorded
