Son, the question may have been removed for all you know. Marking schemes are often not revealed for a good reason.
It definately wasn't removed. The quiz had 45 questions and on blackboard they show a mark out of 45.
It is not hard to add + 1 to the final grade formula. Just because it says it is out of 45 still means nothing.
Nah, I am not going into university just to talk to him. Especially considering he started to be a smartass after the second email I sent him. If I am going to do anything I will email the lecturer in charge (and ask specifically for a response from him because the guy that set the quiz is being a hardass and he is never going to budge and admit he is wrong). At heart he knows he is wrong and barely has a leg to stand on, it's just that he doesn't want to write it in an email because it means he is admitting that he is wrong.
Your going through a lot of trouble to make someone admit they are wrong and get a mark or two. If you know the truth that he is wrong, who cares about him or the mark. By trying to make him admit he is wrong makes you look very arrogant.
OP, you need to grow the hell up and learn that life isn't always black and white. You're the one being a "smartass" and a "hardass". Let me emphasize - they are the lecturers and they have the power to set whatever sort of exam they want. Arguing otherwise is pointless because you're not the lecturer. Don't like it? Drop out or become a lecturer yourself so that you can set your "fair" exams. No one is forcing you to go to uni.
Ok rich kid. "Don't like it? Too Bad". What a great message to send out to people. I guess you are the sort of spineless business man that would exploit workers in disadvantaged countries and pay them 5c /day. You obviously have no morals or ethics you scum.
Rich kid? No morals or ethics? Whatever in the world would make you think that?
It seems like you would fit the profile of a dictator. "Don't argue with me..... Don't you dare question the lecturer.... etc"
Actually, I went to Grammar on a full academic scholarship. I'm not a rich kid - I lived year 12 in a refuge for homeless teenagers. So I think I would have an idea on just how unfair the world can be.
Mirakon is just a stupid uws medicine student.
Sounds awfully similar
The midwifery thing is just a joke, there is no such combination at unsw. I did fins1612 and got a HD for that subject.
Uhh.. I don't know. To calculate the franking credit maybe??
I went to the lectures and tutorials. By the lecturer saying "It was how it was done in the textbook example" is just complete rubbish. All that does is encourages rote learning and blind memorisation. Why do I get penalised because I was only one that actually taught about the question? In the textbook it was explicit that it was before tax, it wasn't in the quiz.
I can see how you might have a point here. Nevertheless, the question specifically said that "all profits are paid to shareholders as dividends". Since dividends come out of after tax profit, wouldn't you infer that the "profit" figure given is after tax? If it is all going to shareholders, it must have been taxed already.
I am going to get HD for it as well. I am on something like 51/55 so far with the final worth the remaining 45%. Still, I don't want to get 94 for the subject when I could of got 95 if not for some stubborn lecturer.
I won't remember it after the stress of the finals. But I guess I will just have to mentally increase my grade by one when they release the results.
Alternatively since you are so competent with the subject, you could simply try harder and get 100% in your finals and get 97+ instead.
0.04 marks WAM loss assuming you're doing a 3 years degree.
