Oh yeah, Amleops, I saw you walking across the Wentworth Bridge yesterday but didn't say Hi. So ummm hi!

@LHS - didn't get to go to HPSC this week. :'(

Hello

Sorry I didn't see you.

 

[someth1ng]

CHEM2915 scaled up 84.6-->86. So basically, next to no scaling.

 

[someth1ng]

Also seems that CHEM2404 scaled from 86.3-->87.

In either case, it's pretty small.

One of my subjects recently realised they screwed their weighting spreadsheet up and had to change all the marks.

No scaling for Adv </3

them feels when you've done more than half of your 1st year units at advanced level.

 

[someth1ng]

Upon further calculations, it seems that if I didn't do advanced, my raw mark would be ~85.7 which is consistent with my mark. Perhaps for SSP, you get the better mark of either SSP or advanced weightings.

I did adv chem, phys and maths last year - could be worse.

I did 36cp of Adv (6cp of SSP). Everything but my maffs LOL Dem feels when it's not even compulsory in first year.

My credit transfer issue seems to be resolved, finally, although it took like half a month ...

To Amleops: After your course transfer, when you read your academic transcript for your new course, do you see the grades and marks you got from last semester at USyd, or just the credit points? I only see the credit points but not the grades/marks; I wonder if the official transcript shows the same as the on Sydney Student.

Scaling generally has a 'diminishing returns' structure. The higher the raw mark, the less they are scaled. Pretty sure if you had like a raw mark of say 65 it would be different story.

That's also true - it's really hard to say if there's scaling. That's assuming the mark I got wasn't just calculated as if I was in adv (which is exactly 86).

By the way, marking in chemistry is super fucking harsh - make 1 error and get 0 for the rest of the question, no carry-on stuff.

When you apply for credit I don't believe they take the marks into consideration. The credit points count towards your degree but you don't carry the marks on, hence it doesn't appear on your transcript or your WAM.

What a waste.

Edit:
I know that the units that I completed at another institution will only carry credit points and not marks/grades, but are the marks and grades of the units that I completed while in combined Science AT USYD will not be shown on the transcript of my Science course !?
