Module Grade

apoolbahari88 SG

a) How to calculate? Some say its 50/50 UT and daily grade. Some say its 30/70. I believe it's the former. I hope.

b) What is moderation? Is it only to increase the module grade when there are many students who did badly. Let's say my predicted grade is D, after moderation, will I surely be D+ or is there a chance that I'll be getting E/F?

c) You get D for module grade; you still pass as long as GPA >2 rite?

I'm Year 3 but still... Embarassed

Answers please. thanks

1. There's also 60/40

2. Moderation will improve your grade if a lot do badly. If a lot do well, you can expect it to fall

3. Yes. E & F, no room for discussion. Must retake.

Two more questions:

My Module grade I calculated to be around 1.6. So do I get D, D+ or C?

UT is 3/4 tests, right? So let's say I have 1C, 1X, 1E, 1A...they'll take the C, E, A right?

Depends, for my case, its 60/40 in STA. Things like arts and filming cant be determined by tests, which is why daily grade carries more weight. For courses like science or IT, most probably 50/50 as test works well.

you cant be sure, because they might moderate it based on the whole cohort's result.

So, UT is 3/4 tests, right? So let's say I have 1C, 1X, 1E, 1A...they'll take the C, E, A right?

I took Arts Appreciation, and two of the UTs are art-based. Lucky, my first one got A. But I'm planning not to do the other one. That's why I asked this qns.

ChingAlvin SG

yeah they take best 3 out of 4...

apoolbahari88 SG

Thanks man

ChingAlvin SG

Very Happy no problem! u took arts appreciation, u also sta?

apoolbahari88 SG

I'm in SAS. I was a former STA member but I changed course. How's life down there?

ChingAlvin SG

I think sta is really fun as we really go creative and do what we like.

Bad thing is that, its freaking tiring. Especially filming...

apoolbahari88 SG

I see, I see.

Well, all the best!! 4 more weeks left!

ChingAlvin SG

you too. graduating soon. good luck Very Happy

apoolbahari88 SG

Paiseh. One very last qn.

With or without moderation, do they round up or round down ur module grade?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Module grade - D+

2nd question - yes

No idea.

apoolbahari88 SG

Thanks for answering

So I guess as long as I have a Module grade of at least 1, then I'll be guaranteed a D right?

I hope so

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Yes. However, this doesn't guarantee that your GPA will be more than 2.0. If it falls less than 2.0, all your D and D+ modules have to be re-taken, including your failed modules (those that scored an E or F). No arguments about that.

It's not an either or requirement, it's an AND requirement. Module grade no less than 1.0 AND GPA no less than 2.0.

apoolbahari88 SG

So it's like saying in order to graduate, your module grade must be >= 1.0 and your GPA >= 2.0 right?

My current GPA is 3.04, and since this is my last semester, I've calculated mine to fall to 2.8, my final GPA. So I think I'm safe.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Don't forget to add FYP, CE and PP.

Not really sure for the criteria for FYP, but for CE and PP, if you fail, stay back for another year or semester to re-do.

As most will say, it's a joke to stay back to do those modules. And you pay to do those that are actually FOC.

xneutralz SG

but CE and PP is only pass or fail, no gpa weightage.. since you are already in yr final semester, you should have completed both of them already..

and GOOD LUCK for fyp presentation ... its going to be overr soon. haha....

*i cant wait.. Twisted Evil
