How does that work? At my school it doesn't matter how well you do with other assessments, you must get a minimum of 50% in all invigilated assessments. So you'd have needed 50% to pass the exam anyway.

Different schools and different professors will do it differently....But let us say it is 25% MT1 25%MT2 25%Quiz/HW 25% final. IF you get everything else, then you really don't need to score high on the final.

I've had some professors who get lazy and say 1 MT and 1 Final. One that says, " if FINAL > mean(MT,Final) then GRADE=FINAL", another that went through a whole slew of little tests and homework (usually in lower div classes), others that give 2 MT and 1 Final, some that have just projects and no finals, one that had just 4 "quizzes", etc. etc. etc.

I'm surprised that it sounds like your kiwi professors grade on a standardized scale

Well, it works because we don't have that rule...thank goodness. I don't think anybody would be graduating from this major in four years if they did.

I've had FEs like that before :) Smug as a bug during the exam ^_^ OFC someone had to remind me that in some classes you need to pass the FE to pass the course.

lol...my finals were over two weeks ago. Unfortunately, that just means our winter break is WAY shorter than other schools'. Pretty sure fall semester begins earlier too...:hmm:
