Could someone please clarify my ideas of UAI and scaling?? (2 Viewers)

Just say that there are onyl two subjects, Maths and Physics.

If maths always scaled below the normal 45degree line that you call average, and so did physics, except maths was slighly above the physics line. then just because maths scales you down relative to this normal line doesn't mean its bad, because relative to the other courses, physucs, its high.

This is what i was trying to let you guys understand all this time. Scaling is relative, but when we talk about scaled up or down, we compare it to other courses. If you read my first post, i posted what i think was the RELATIVE scaling of the subjects in this thread.

Well it appears we have come to an agreement, because that is what I have being trying to say this whole time, that scaling is RELATIVE.

Although it is relative, we still need some sort of classification to make things simplier and give ppl a vague idea. Thus all mentions of scaling up or down is relative to certain mild subjects such as English.

Which is why whenever I talk about how a course scales, i compare it to another course.

For example instead of saying a 95 in industrial technology scales to a scaled mark of 60, i say a 95 in industrial technology is equivalent to a 75 in mathematics.

however English does not have mild scaling, (well i guess it depends on what you are comparing it to). relative to the straight 0,0 to 50,50 line, its not mild.

Well English is quite mild. That i am quite sure.

If you look on the BOS Scaling page and look at English. Its pretty much 24+ while 25 means like minimal scaling.

47.0, 42.0, 38.0, 36.0, 33.5, 30.0
47.2, 37.5, 28.0, 22.7, 17.2, 12.0

that doesn't really look like a one to one correspondence to me.

i'm not exactly sure where that page gets that data from.
