not sure about anyone else but i got my uni grades back for my first year today. got a 2:2! I just missed a 2:1 though which is an arse- even though it's my own fault for dossing around in my shitty medieval module in september!

so how are you guys doing so far? has anyone even got their marks?

[Ginger_Chris]

i only finished my exams a week ago, but im not looking forward to them, last year i got a first (by a quarter of a %), but that doesnt count to my final grade. This year ill be lucky to scrape a 2:2 :(

Do your first year count to your final grade?

Well here it is a bit different. I have a pool of courses I have to do. They are structured from term 1 - 6 (then I get my bachelor title) + 4 more terms and I get a master degree.

I am nearly finished and did only 4 courses this year:

NT: C
RO course: B
RO lab: A
Distributed Systems: A
Physics: D (500 pages is insane, nobody can learn that)


I am not sure but most of those courses give 4-6 ECTS credits. Stuff which I like I do better than the rest and well the A in the lab was pure luck.

So we get rated for each course and I can fail a course 4 times and the fifth time it will be an exam with 3 professors and a oral examination. If I would then also fail I am banned on that study direction.

Sorry if that is not quite understandable but my english is not good enough to really explain it that good :D

I submitted my thesis for my MPhil and it passed with no corrections so I get to graduate next month. :) But graduations are boring. :(

[Dan Dare]

but you get to wear a cool robe! shabba!

[Noodleman]

gonna go in and get my results later. Pretty sure that baring a miracle i've got a 2:2

[laura_inthesky]

I'm going to uni later this year, can someone explain these results. 2:2 seems much more complicated than just being given an A

[Dieter]

I failed my sixth form.. :(

going to have to repeat the year. My fault for dicking around.

the clasification of degree you get is the following:
Pass
3rd
2:2
2:1
1st

with pass being the worst and 1st being the best.

the clasification of degree you get is the following:
Pass
3rd
2:2
2:1
1st

with pass being the worst and 1st being the best.

also: you take a series of independently marked modules each year at uni. once you finish the year the marks from those are averaged and that's how you work out the final mark.

50's = 2:2
60's = 2:1
70+ = 1st

and so on

ive just finished my first year, not even sure if i passed :woops: (pass = 40% overall)

[Babooo]

Please don't talk about results....

[Supergrunch]

3rd
2:2
2:1
1st

with pass being the worst and 1st being the best.

I've never heard of pass- I thought a 3rd was the worst you could get without failing.

[Daniel]

they all count as passes i guess. At Loughborough uni in the first year there is no 1st or 2:1 you just pass or fail, 40% to pass, in following years the other grades come into play

[Jimmy3000]

waiting on my results, probably already have 1 resit from my extra choice from christmas, not sure yet though, organisation is a joke.

[Mr_Odwin]

A pass is a degree without honours. The classification is the type of honours you get. So, for example, a degree in chemistry with upper second class honours = a 2:1.

[Blue_Ninja0]

Here each exam is ranked from 0 to 20, being 0 the worst and 20 the best.
I'm still in the middle of exams... it sucks...

[Sparko]

I got a 1st. Doesn't count towards my final grade though. I'm so happy, but I don't think I'll get that again, first year was ridiculously easy so it's gotta get harder next year.

[Dan Dare]

gratz amigo =)

that's a quality result. Give yourself a beer flavoured pat on the back.

[Daniel]

what are you studying? congrats =]

ahh... It all makes sense now.

[Sparko]

Cheers, I'm doing an accounting degree. I'll pause while you roll your eyes and yawn :D

And don't worry Dan Dare, they're be plenty of beer flavoured pats on the back, all summer long! What are you guys studying?

[Dan Dare]

I'm doing English, although as of September it's going to be English with creative writing because I decided that looked more fun.

I finally got my results yesterday, 48, 49, 52, 53. With the pass mark being 30, so does that mean the 52/53 are 2:2's?

[Mr_Odwin]

Best to check your course handbook, but yeah, probably.

[Jav_NE]

I've finnished my final year at University now. I got a high 2:1 in Multimedia Computing, go me! I got one 70 and the rest were 65's and a 68 i think, which is a shame, 5 or so marks more in each module and i would've had a 1st. Oh well, i'm just glad i got a 2:!, i had my doubts looking back at the year, too much slacking and partying going on!

But thats it, im done! 2:1 for me, and im happy. Yey :)

[Zakatu]

I got a 56% average this year, but i failed thermodynamics so i will have to retake that in september in order to progress to the 2nd year.

Its a good job the marks from first year don't count.
