Assessment 1 |
100 |
10 |
If I achieved 49/100, then: 49/100 = 49% for Assessment 1 |
49% x10% = 4.9% |
|
Assessment 2 |
80 |
30 |
If I achieved 48.3/80, then: 48.3/80= 60.4% for Assessment 2 |
60.4% x 30% = 18.1% |
| Total towards semester total before exam |
4.9% + 18.1% = 23% |

Outcome 1: Pass the final exam 50/100 = 50% for the final exam |
Outcome 1: 50% x 60% = 30% |

Outcome 2: Fail the final exam 40/100 = 40% for the final exam |
Outcome 2: 40% x 60% = 24% |

| Outcome 3: Fail the final exam 30/100 = 30% for the final exam |
Outcome 3: 30% x 60% = 18% |
|||
| Outcome 1: pass the exam | 23% + 30% = 53% overall pass the course | |||
| Outcome 2: fail the final exam | 23% + 24% = 47% supplementary exam if all other assessment has been attempted | |||
| Outcome 3: fail the final exam | 23% + 18% = 41% fail the course, no supplementary assessment | |||
| Please note that where the hurdle is not passed for courses with placement or practical requirements and the overall mark is >45% and <50% supplementary assessment is not available and a fail will be given in the course | ||||
