Does anyone know when the exam results will be published for first year BBS in Business and Management and first year BBS in Business and Accounting?

Also, when are the repeats taking place?
Thanks

Will the results thats posted to our house have all the exams and assignments that one did throughout the whole year.

No, just the overall module mark

Nice I got disgusting marks in most of my assignments and I want to hide it from my dad.

Can anyone tell me if we get a percentage or do we just get a bracket like 70-100%?

Percentages.

Percentage.

You get the overall mark for the year too, which is either pass or fail in first year, but in 2nd/subsequent years they have 2.1, 2.2 etc on it as well.

Not true for all degrees. You only get PASS up until 3rd year in mine at least.

Seren_ · 29-05-2011 12:38PM

Ah right, it's probably just the years that can count towards your degree then. Which would explain why it would be from 2nd year in 3 year courses.

In 4 year degrees 3rd year can also count towards your degree. If the score you get taking 30% 3rd year results and 70% 4th year results is better than 100% 4th year results, you're awarded that instead, but only in that scenario.

Even so, my 3rd year results still say PASS even though I got a 1.1 that year.

Mastroph · 29-05-2011 08:03PM

I'm pretty sure it's only my first year that doesn't count towards my final degree, I'm doing the general science course.

I do hope to get percentage results, as I'm very competitive about grades, and I think I did quite well in most subjects. *mumble mumble* integral calculus *mumble mumble*

As I mentioned above, it's either 30:70 3rd/4th year results or all 4th year results for your final degree grade, whichever is better.

However, results from each year are important, especially for internships etc...

And yaw, you get the exact full final percentages and that.

Do the results be posted up on Moodle, similar to what most of my lectures did for Semester one exams, as well as posted out?

mp3guy · 30-05-2011 02:42PM

They're posted out and put up on the student web services page under the student enquiry section.

MoyVilla9 · 30-05-2011 02:56PM

Great. Will be handy as I'm not in the country during June or July.

JajaD · 07-06-2011 01:37PM

When are the 3rd year results out?

They will probably be online on the 22nd or 23rd, going by previous years. Which means about 2 weeks :eek:

Dreading them but want them all the same. 2.1 is what I hope for so fingers crossed

Glad I'm not the only person who's excited

How do they calculate the degree exactly?

Is is just an average of all modules done in third year?

I've heard the following things though, which sound a bit made up: a) that they don't count your worst module, and b) that they use 30 per cent of your best marks from second year if it's to your advantage.

Any truth in these?

I'm fairly sure that it is an average of all the modules done in third year. I think all the things that you've listed there are made up although I'm open to being proven wrong.

It's odd that it's still so arcane, even for some third years.

Well, it's not exactly like everyone's falling over themselves to tell you these things officially. If you're passing and doing okay, then you're probably not going to look these kind of things up, and you're just going to go by what you hear.

The days are going by slower than December did as a child.
