Weighting? (1 Viewer)

[so_what]

Hey guys, someone told me that the weighting (lol is that even the right word for it?) for courses is based on what level they are?
So a level 2 course is worth double a level 1 course?
Is this true?

Thanks.

weighting? or do you actually mean workload?

Nope. Its all weighted the same unless I recall someone said it was different for engo.

In terms of UoC and WAM.

Yeah I figured that wasn't the right word for it. Not work load. When calculating your wam for example, does the weighting of a course increase according to its lvl? Lvl 2 course is worth more in your WAM than a lvl 1 course?

Catch my drift? Or am I still being unclear? Really sorry, the friend who asked me this didn't explain well and I don't really get it.

Okay, thanks omnipotence.

i heard it's something like

lvl 1 = x
lvl 2 = 2x
lvl 3 = 3x
lvl 4 = 4x

in regards to final wam as it ends up x+2x+3x+4x if you're doing honours

could definitely be mistaken though

That is how engineering honours is worked out.

No, the UNSW general WAM has all courses of equal weighting.

It doesn't differentiate between the levels of each course.
