POLL: what is your GPA (1 Viewer)

[piitb]

these are all based on GPA's out of 7

if your uni makes marks out of 4,


to convert to 7, then take your gpa divide by 4 and multiply it by 7.

I'm not a mathematician, but that doesn't work.

Simply dividing by 4 and multiplying by 7 screws it up, as GPAs /4 count Ds and HDs the same; whereas GPAs /7 count Ds as 6 and HDs out of 7. There's no simply way to turn a /4 GPA into an /7 one - you just have to recalculate it with all of your marks.

Eg: If I converted my current final Macquarie GPA (4/4) using your method, I'd have a GPA of 7/7. But I have a few Ds, so it should be something like 6.75/7.

for the purpose of this poll its good enough, you have a 0.5 range, so it wont change much for most people, especially if youve dont over a years worth of study as it all even out no matter if you have gpa out of 4 or 7.

For those at Mac to work it out

P=3
C= 5
D = 6
HD = 7

Someone remind me what PC and F are

 

[jb_nc]

P = 4
PC = 3
F = 0

P isn't 3 cause that's less than 50% when out of 7.

 

[melsc]

At UWS P = 3...I don't know how other uni's do it

No it's not...

theres always one negative person in the class, and yeah your not a mathematician so you know jack shit. jerk off

 

[xeuyrawp]

rofl. There's no point in having exact response options and not have exact data.

and yeah your not a mathematician so you know jack shit. jerk off

olol and yet I realised that GPA /4 != GPA /7. You must be a real genius.

Maybe it would have been better to just ask what people's average was in bands, ie Distinction, Credit or whatever.

Alternatively, you could have just bumped one of the hundred fucking threads already about this topic, rather than making a new one.

GPAs /4 count Ds and HDs the same;

Not at UTS they aren't, lol.

:/



EDIT: Your posts have gotten so much cooler ever since you got unmodded.

oh yeah BOS survey is going to be used in the governments senate enquiry into education and has taken over from the Australian Bureau of Statistics haha. moron

 

[jb_nc]

he's kinda right. who cares.

put it over 4 and multiply it by 7 unless you want to waste time converting it for a super-awesome poll

 

[xeuyrawp]

Not at UTS they aren't, lol.

Yeah, cbfed saying "Macquarie GPA out of 4" every time. *shrug*

A lot of the GPAs differ, that's why everyone needs to recalculate it unless you're using the normal system.

Oh it's not?!!!??!?1/ I thought this thread was going to form the basis of the new funding towards universities!!!!111onelol/

Dude there are so many threads on this already... There's no point adding a crappier one.

Lol I don't care if you fill it out, it's just funny having .5 jumps while at the same time being inaccurate for people who use other systems.

i think PwarYuex is having an attack of "i lost my mod rights and now i am being a nobhead"

Yeah I wish I could find my mod rights. Have you seen them. :-/

It doesn't work because anyone with a GPA less than 2.28 out of four would have a fail GPA out of 7.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the other end of the scale. Like I said, the method's shit.

 

[Hakz]

im at a credit average now roughly 70.3.. so is that a 5 gpa?
