    I got a total gpa for my masters of 2.10-pass (krap I know ha)

    well I have my thesis to do over the summer and I need to know what grade I have to get to bring me up to a 2H2 classification.

    The thesis is worth the same credits as all the subjects that I have done.

    I have done 6 subjects, gpa's being: 2.0, 2.0, 2.4, 2.4, 1.6, 2.0

    thanks :)

    The GPA from those six subjects is 2.07. For a 2H2 you need 2.48 or better. Assuming the thesis is worth 6 subjects (30 credits), you need to get 2.90 or better = C+ (3.0).

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    You got me wondering in case they had changed it, but the latest Modular Grades Explained document still says 2.48-3.07. A 2H1 requires 3.08 - 3.67, any better is a First.

    I'm nearly sure all theses are worth double the credits the exams are, for masters anyways (not guaranteeing this though)

    Not necessarily, for a lot of taught masters courses the minor thesis is worth 30 credits (equivalent to 1 semester of classes).
