My friend talked to Wil Rifkin (the course coordinatory) and he said that a 1/3 of the year got HDs, even though for the most part we were all terribly lost. I'm guessing heaps of people would have gotten Ds too, I don't think I know of anyone who got less than a D.
I believe Tim that all your tutes were taught by Rifkin, but for our year, Rifkin delegated responsibility to 3 new tutors... who were as lost as we were. SCIF is essentially a thoroughly disorganised and frustrating course but it has it merits *shakes fist none-the-less*
And lol it would have been really hard to fail this course, especially since the only proper exam we sat we could get marks of 105%, AND bring in a cheat sheet, AND have a 10 minute discussion with peers with the exam paper in hand before we had to start writing. What gets most people is the tedium of the assignments and the length of time you have to spend doing them...and the lack of organisation and information given about assignments [and having 3 days to do certain assignments because the assignment sheets weren't given out...like the students were more on top of the course]...okay I'll stop now, I could rant on and on... half of this probs doesn't make sense.
