University Marking Methods (1 Viewer)

[z600]

Hey guys my friends and I were wondering about uni marking methods. Consider the QMA online quiz as an example. Each QMA quiz is out of 10, and it's worth 1% each. Lets say I got 5/10, does that mean I get the full 1%? Since i got 5/10 i scored 50% of that 1% (0.5 of total marks), since there is rouding, does that mean I get the full 1 mark??

thanks in advance (sorry if it's confusing).

sorry im of no help myself, but who says there's rounding?

I am not sure, like I've heard someone said for online quiz you either get 0 or 1.

I think they round off as a whole in the end, isn't that how HSC worked too? It would seem logical especially when there's a lot of small assessments.

That would be epically stupid if it worked like that



It would be totally pointless to make quizes if they rounded them up.

i know that they round class tests up. like a 9.5 would become a 10 since apparently you cant enter 9.5 into the marking system (lol).

but I highly doubt that they would do what you are claiming and round up to the nearest %.

op stop worrying and just do the best you can. the marks will work themselves out

Agreed. These 08'ers seem to be worrying a lot more than previous years..

I reckon we get decimals. No way 5/10 leads to full 1%

 

[08er]

yeah logic suggests theres no rounding in these small (1%) quizzes

 

[wrong_turn]

@shinji: back then most people just thought about passing and doing what they could. they should just stop rigging the system.

yeah we're the shittest @ uni bunch ive ever met.

should see the '09ers in regards to HSC though.

Here's how it works in the subjects I've done.

The rounding occurs at the end of a subject (i.e. you can accrue small fractions of a mark)

Assessment 1 (weight 5 * 2% quizzes) Marks: 5, 7, 8, 2, 6 out of 10

Assessment 2 (weight 20%) Mark: 72/100

Assessment 3 (weight 10%) Mark: 50/75

Assessment 4 (weight 60%) Mark: 40/100

So your final mark would be;

(5/10*2)+(7/10*2)+(8/10*2)+(2/10*2)+(6/10*2)+(72/100*20)+(50/75*10)+(40/100*60)=50.67

Hence you are awarded a Pass with a mark of 51.

they do rounding at the end. so they'll input you getting 50% on a x weighted assessment item.

It really doesn't matter, just do your best lol.
