Erm I saw my transcript the other day, there is no weighting in cp's for absent fails, I am sure of it. Are you absolutely sure absent fails count? The absent fails are tangible, they appear on your transcript but I don't think they are included in the calc.

3. How is a WAM or SCIWAM calculated?jpr333 said:
The formula used by the Faculty of Science is: ∑ (Wc x Mc)/ ∑Wc where Wc is the weighted credit point value (ie the product of the credit point value and level of weighting of 2 for 2000-2999 units of study and 3 for 3000-3999 units of study) and Mc is the mark out of 100 for that unit of study.
All units where a result has been recorded, including Discontinued Fail, Absent Fail and PCON (but not W or DNF) are included in the calculation.

I asked at edfac today, and they said it does. Could be different for other faculties.jpr333 said:
Examination Results came in the mail today...
Parents are impossible. :burn: Sorry I didn't get all Ds and HDs last semester despite it being 'so easy'.
They're annoyed that my marks aren't good enough to brag about to friends and relatives. Well, excuuuuuuuuuuse me.

Yeah, mine came in the mail today, but nothing changed from the web so yeah. About your parents--it is your marks after all. I have a feeling that though the content is interesting enough (and I'm determined enough to be organised this semester), I may still only end up getting what I did last semester--everyone seems to be even more interested than I am!
And for the more experienced--I thought they may have marked to a bellcurve last semester, and it seems this 'norm-referencing' marking mentioned in my BIOL1003 reader for this semester implies that. Is that true?

My parents don't open mine either... it's just that when I got it I told them what it was (because they asked) and it reminded them of my marks.dora_18 said:My parents don't open my mail
not that i have anything to hide....
They already knew my marks anyway. They just didn't really say anything about them when I first told them.
My marks aren't that bad... 2 Ds, a C and a (high) P
... they just expected more since first semester is supposed to be so easy.

...the marks that came in the mail and were posted on the internet are the total marks for the course aren't they? Or are they exclusively your exam results? :<
I'm so lucky that I have parents who don't really care about my marks (unless I fail). It's really sad to see that a lot of you have parents on your backs all the time. You got into uni and that's that. All you really need to do is pass, even if it's only a 50.
Mixed reaction from my parents--my mum was like, "What?!" when I told her I was one off a credit and one off a distinction, but my dad has been to uni and done that, so he was like, "good--you passed, and that's all you need, and as long as you don't need it for next semester, you don't need to care!" regarding maths, so I obviously am gonna be leaning more on my dad for support
yes but how far will you go in life if you only aim to pass everything and keep achieving the bare minimum? and also, you're not exactly going to be shortlisted on any graduate recruitment firm's lists after you finish your degree.Tennille said:
My parents were on my back (lolz having anal) all through school, however, during uni they stopped bothering me. Except during school I had shite marks and now that there's no pressure i get pwnage l33t markz

I would tend to agree. Those who wish to just get a degree and pass aren't going to get the best jobs (if any) in their chosen industry.stazi said:
Without experience, the only real testament to the amount a graduate has pushed him/herself is his/her marks.
