October 12

Tuesday, back to our regularly scheduled group meetings. We discussed the next assignment, divvied up the work and decided on some questions to ask the Walk organizers... Then class, where I found out we could pick up two of our assignments! Ahh. So, after class everyone went to the Learning Center and got our assignments back. On my Audi Sponsorship case study, I didn't do so well. But I passed, so whatever. The other people in my group did better, but only a little bit better. Then we got our group assignment back and got pretty good (Like a B+)... It's so hard to look at the grades here and figure them out. It's on a 7 point scale. Here's the breakdown:

University of Queensland grade scores
UQ Grade Equivalent Raw mark range
7 High Distinction (HD) 85-100%
6 Distinction (D) 75-84%
5 Credit (CR) 65-74%
4 Pass (P) 50-64%
3,2,1 Fail (F) < 50%


So, when I look at my paper, and see that I got a 77%, I'm like Oh what! C?!?!? UGHH.. But really, that's a 6 (or B equivalent!).. So, I always end up thinking I did worse than I actually did.  It's a little confusing. And then there's the whole pass or pass with credit. Ahhh... Anyway, so far I'm passing my classes, but still not doing as great as I had expected. Oh well. Grad School is tougher than I thought! Spent the rest of the evening reading journal articles for an upcoming paper!
