CSSE1001/CSSE7030 - Assessment
This course will be assessed by several methods. Your final grade (on a scale 1
to 7) will be determined by combining the marks from the various assessment
components as described below.
Assessment tasks
- On-line problem sets. For more details see here.
- Three assignments: the first two are mandatory for all students. The result from the advanced third assignment is used for calculating grades of 6 and 7 - see below. For more details see here.
- Final multiple choice exam during the exam period. Details will be provided later in the semester.
Determination of the final grade and mark
The following information is copied (correctly I hope) from the course profile. The information in the course profile is the official version. To calculate your final grade and mark, we use two overall marks, one that does not include the assignment 3 mark and a second one that does. For the first overall mark, MARK1, assignments 1 and 2 contribute 15%, the online tutorial mark contributes 10%, and the exam mark contributes 60%. MARK1 = 0.15*A1 + 0.15*A2 + 0.6*Exam + 0.1*Tut For the second overall mark, MARK2, assignments 1 and 2 contribute 10%, assignment 3 contributes 20%, the online tutorial mark contributes 10% and the exam mark contributes 50%. MARK2= 0.1*A1 + 0.1*A2 + +0.2*A3 + 0.5*Exam + 0.1*TutFor students taking CSSE1001:
Your final grade and final mark are then the highest grade for which your component results satisfy the criteria in the following table.| grade | final mark | what you need to do |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | MARK2 | MARK2 >= 85% and Exam >= 85% |
| 6 | MIN(84,MARK2) | MARK2 >= 75% and Exam >= 75% |
| 5 | MIN(74,MAX(MARK1,MARK2)) | MAX(MARK1, MARK2) >= 65% and Exam >= 65% |
| 4 | MIN(64,MAX(MARK1,MARK2)) | MAX(MARK1, MARK2) >= 50% and Exam >= 50% |
| 3 | MIN(49,MAX(MARK1,MARK2)) | MAX(MARK1,MARK2) >= 45% and Exam >= 45% |
| 2 | MAX(MARK1,MARK2) | MAX(MARK1,MARK2) >= 20% |
| 1 | MAX(MARK1,MARK2) | otherwise |
