hopefully sinet cooperates this time around. Hahahahahaahaha ... you're dreaming mate. Pro tip: Log into my.uq a few minutes before midnight, then at midnight click the mySI-net link on the left to bypass the login mechanism and take you quickly to the site before it goes down. |

It just appeared right above where your enrolled courses are.
Of course, in SINET tradition it will either time out, give a "too many users logged in" error, or my personal favourite: "No Access Function disabled through function control. This page has been disabled for administrative reasons. We apologise for any inconvenience." (copy/pasted from sinet just now) |

Got mine after 15 mins of trying, 7 7 6 4. Pretty happy, thought i would be lucky to get a single 7 after exams.

Anyone know when Griffith results are released? They're out now but aren't supposed to come out until Wednesday, 9 July. |

Hehe I do when I don't know what I'm going to get. This semester we knew all our results from our course coordinators before the release date.
7 7 6 and a Pass for a pass/fail subject (H). This is the best I've ever done, which is good because I'm in my honours year. Grades don't actually count this year because our honours grade is calculated using our subject percentages, so, I got 91, 94.5 and 76.5:) Totally stoked. Just gotta keep it up for the rest of the year. |

who sits up at midnight to check results? Well considering I am usually up past midnight anyway, its not too far out of my way to check them. |

who sits up at midnight to check results? Someone who cares about their grades obviously? |

Or someone who's up at midnight anyway?
I don't understand how your guy's grades work... what's a 7 mean? |

I dunno if it's any different, but QUT'S is
Pass Parameters The percentages below constitute standard result parameters, but may be changed at the discretion of the executive dean or delegated faculty officer. • 7 - High Distinction: 85%-100% • 6 - Distinction: 75%-84% • 5 - Credit: 65%-74% • 4 - Pass: 50%-64% • 3 - Low Pass: 47%-49% • 2 - Fail: 25%-46% • 1 - Low Fail: 1%-24% |

Booyah. Gonna boost one maybe 2 of those yearlong course 6s to 7s. Best I've ever done too. And my timetable rocks next sem cos I'll be doing one easier subject than everyone else not a harder one like this sem. |

Supposedly mine come out on Monday. Did really well for 2 of my classes I know that much, but one subject I'm a bit worried about. Did really well for the first assignment, and the second one, which was the exact same format/assignment except on a slightly different topic, and the head unit coordinator marked mine and told me she hated every single word of it. So now I'm not sure if I'm going to pass overall. And my other subject was prac, so it's only a case of successful or unsuccessful.

^cept the people who don't do as well don't post their results:(
Well done to everyone! Hopefully without starting a giant debate, depending on what you're trying to achieve from studying, 4's are great too (for people who might not have posted results)! My first degree was made up of 4's and 5's, and it got me a great job and I wouldn't be where I am now without it. Someone told me a while back that in states other than QLD, they give you different grades as a percentage? Eg, at UQ a 7 might be 85% or higher and if you get 82%, it's counted as a 6, whereas in other states, you'd get a 6.9, or whatever the equivalent grading system is in the other states. This is a huge disadvantage for QLD'ers when calculating GPA, as your GPA in QLD is always an underestimate of your actual score. Using the grading example above with a lower cutoff of 60 - 70 for a 5, and 50 - 60 for a 4: if you get 82, 58, 67, 73 for one semester, your marks would be 6, 4, 5, 6, giving a GPA of 5.25. However, if you used the subject percentages, your GPA would actually be 70%, or 6.0. That's a pretty f*****g huge difference. Fortunately, in honours, they ignore your subject grades and only use percentages achieved. |

This is a huge disadvantage for QLD'ers when calculating GPA Indeed. I was going to apply for a postgrad position at the uni of melbourne and they strongly recommended I ask UQ for my percentages when submitting my grades. Fortunately, in honours, they ignore your subject grades and only use percentages achieved. My honours was built into the degree, GPA based :/ |

Last year when we were at an info seminar for honours, we were told that now UQ has blanket rules for honours across all the schools which means they all have the same cut offs, eg 80% for a "7" and > 80% for first class. I assume the change would include to all honours grades being calculated with percentages now? So parabol, you had to do course work as part of your honours?

Did totally s*** this semester. No deans award this year :P
I broke my knee mid way through, spent 5 weeks f*****g about and not going to lectures or studying at all, so having caught up on 5 weeks worth of work for each subject in the day or two before the exam... inorganic chem - 4 organic chem - 4 biochem - 5 cell and molec biol - 6 Was 63 and 64 % on the two 4s so just missed out on 5s. Whatever, least I don't have to f*****g repeat any :P |

we were told that now UQ has blanket rules for honours across all the schools That's interesting because EPSA (my faculty) still has its own cutoffs :) Though maybe this is the last year they're doing it? Or perhaps they haven't thought too far ahead and haven't put 2009 up yet. The cutoffs list only 2007 and 2008 currently: http://www.epsa.uq.edu.au/index.html?id=7676 Honours I 6.200 - 7.000 Honours IIA 5.800 - 6.199 Honours IIB 5.000 - 5.799 So parabol, you had to do course work as part of your honours? My bachelors was 4 years. Basically if your overall GPA was above certain cutoffs, you get that particular level of Honours. No need to do special courses or anything, all based on overall GPA. I stuffed up first and second year, so I only ended up with Hons IIA. But it's ok, I did a 1 year Masters afterwards and had a fresh start with my GPA and did pretty well .. and the Masters year grades and whatnot is all I quote now since it sort of over-rules my bachelor grades. |

qmass / toll do you have any tips for weaselling into a prac group that is full? i missed out on the intro physics prac group that fits my timetable the best. i don't have a legit reason for needing to be in it (there are empty ones that don't clash with anything)
if i just rock up and say 'huh i thought i signed up for this one' is it likely they will just let me stay? worth a try i guess... |

I use the excuse of family and work (both myself and partner). It works, however it is actually true for me so I can't take no for an answer. I also try really hard to get my classes sorted the same day they are opened.
In the final semester now and 2 of my 3 subjects have only 1 prac time/lecture. One of my subjects has no lectures, all prac. Gunna purify me some proteins. Spy's a sapp'n my protein! EDIT: O turning up to the wrong prac/tute doesn't work too well. Most people that try simply get told to go to the one they are in. It is far better to email the subject coordinator and sort it out before uni starts, the earlier the better. last edited by Tollaz0r! at 09:36:01 07/Jul/08 |
