TSM Pattern A Final Year marking

HistoryGirl22 · 2012-02-14 13:32:16

Hej Hej! According to the TSM handbook, my courses are each marked out of 500. However one of my subjects consists of 6 modules, which would suggest that we are being marked out of 600, rather than 500. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks so much :)

Hey.I don't know for sure because I'm pattern B but what I do know is that the degree is marked out of 1000 credits.

So even if one subject is marked out of 600 marks (it could well be), it will still only count for 500 credits,ie. if you got 450 out of 600,it would be calculated as a percentage (75%) and then they'd get that percentage of 500 credits (500 x 75% = 375 credits) and add it to whatever percentage of the 500 you got in your other subject.
