Process |
- Continuous assessment is 20% of the final grade that appears on your transcript when your group completes the project. - Your seminar supervisor grades "CA"--your contribution to the process, including participation in the seminar and deliverables throughout the year. - Individual group members' CA scores often differ from one another. |

- When the individual receives her grade at the end of the year, the grade for the final product is 80% of it, and is the same for each of a group's members. - Of this product grade, your supervisor's score is 40%, and the scores of two other examiners (often called "moderators") are weighted 30% each. - Moderators don't grade CA or process--only the final product.
If you're thinking, "hey that all adds up to more than 100%," take a closer look at what's getting graded by whom and how it all fits together. |
Curve |
What's the curve like for FYP? There's no strict curve.
But a distribution of grades inevitably occurs; project quality varies, despite the consistently high effort invested. So be sure to get feedback from multiple channels all along the way to keep your project on track. |
What's on my transcript? |
- Your transcript only shows one letter grade for your FYP at the end of the project. - After the first semester, the transcript only shows an "IP" for "In Progress"--an optimistic assessment!-- which doesn't have any effect on your GPA. - After the second semester of FYP, a letter grade appears that counts for 12AU in your CGPA. |
