Posted June 28, 2006 not sure about anyone else but i got my uni grades back for my first year today. got a 2:2! I just missed a 2:1 though which is an arse- even though it's my own fault for dossing around in my shitty medieval module in september! so how are you guys doing so far? has anyone even got their marks?

Posted June 28, 2006 i only finished my exams a week ago, but im not looking forward to them, last year i got a first (by a quarter of a %), but that doesnt count to my final grade. This year ill be lucky to scrape a 2:2 Do your first year count to your final grade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 Well here it is a bit different. I have a pool of courses I have to do. They are structured from term 1 - 6 (then I get my bachelor title) + 4 more terms and I get a master degree. I am nearly finished and did only 4 courses this year: NT: C RO course: B RO lab: A Distributed Systems: A Physics: D (500 pages is insane, nobody can learn that) I am not sure but most of those courses give 4-6 ECTS credits. Stuff which I like I do better than the rest and well the A in the lab was pure luck. So we get rated for each course and I can fail a course 4 times and the fifth time it will be an exam with 3 professors and a oral examination. If I would then also fail I am banned on that study direction. Sorry if that is not quite understandable but my english is not good enough to really explain it that good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 28, 2006 I'm going to uni later this year, can someone explain these results. 2:2 seems much more complicated than just being given an A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 I failed my sixth form.. going to have to repeat the year. My fault for dicking around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 I'm going to uni later this year, can someone explain these results. 2:2 seems much more complicated than just being given an A the clasification of degree you get is the following: Pass 3rd 2:2 2:1 1st with pass being the worst and 1st being the best.

Posted June 28, 2006 the clasification of degree you get is the following:Pass 3rd 2:2 2:1 1st with pass being the worst and 1st being the best. also: you take a series of independently marked modules each year at uni. once you finish the year the marks from those are averaged and that's how you work out the final mark. 50's = 2:2 60's = 2:1 70+ = 1st and so on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 ive just finished my first year, not even sure if i passed (pass = 40% overall) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 28, 2006 the clasification of degree you get is the following:Pass 3rd 2:2 2:1 1st with pass being the worst and 1st being the best. I've never heard of pass- I thought a 3rd was the worst you could get without failing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 they all count as passes i guess. At Loughborough uni in the first year there is no 1st or 2:1 you just pass or fail, 40% to pass, in following years the other grades come into play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 waiting on my results, probably already have 1 resit from my extra choice from christmas, not sure yet though, organisation is a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 28, 2006 A pass is a degree without honours. The classification is the type of honours you get. So, for example, a degree in chemistry with upper second class honours = a 2:1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2006 Here each exam is ranked from 0 to 20, being 0 the worst and 20 the best. I'm still in the middle of exams... it sucks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2006 I got a 1st. Doesn't count towards my final grade though. I'm so happy, but I don't think I'll get that again, first year was ridiculously easy so it's gotta get harder next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 30, 2006 I'm doing English, although as of September it's going to be English with creative writing because I decided that looked more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 1, 2006 also: you take a series of independently marked modules each year at uni. once you finish the year the marks from those are averaged and that's how you work out the final mark. 50's = 2:2 60's = 2:1 70+ = 1st and so on I finally got my results yesterday, 48, 49, 52, 53. With the pass mark being 30, so does that mean the 52/53 are 2:2's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
