Anyone know what "WAM" stands for?

 

[wogboy]

WAM is your Weighted Average Mark. It's basically your overall average for all your courses, depending on the weighting of each course (units of credit, UOC).

WAM = (course1 mark)*(UOC)/(total UOC) +
(course2 mark)*(UOC)/(total UOC) +
(course3 mark)*(UOC)/(total UOC) + ....

This is how to work out the GPA according to Macquarie uni (I'm pretty sure it varies between other unis):

http://www.deanofstudents.mq.edu.au/gpa.htm

I reckon the WAM system that UNSW uses is much fairer, since with the GPA system is doesn't matter what actual mark you get for a course, but just the grade (credit, distinction etc) matters. Say if a student gets 84 for a course, and another gets 76, they will still get the same GPA because they both got distinctions.

2 HDs, 1 PS, 1 CR for me. Hope everyone got the results they worked for.

wow! thats like a HD avg. how hard did u have to work for that?

 

[anti]

too hard, i'd say

 

[Minai]

lol
yeah pretty hard...coz I want to transfer to Law
u just have to do all your tutorial homework every week, and make sure you're up to date, and start studying for exams at least 2 weeks before the exams...its easy to say, but most ppl dont, bcoz the uni life is vastly different to HSC life

[anti]

[Minai]

Heheh...I think i'll be staying at UNSW

 

[maniacguy]

Yep, having the same WAM is extraordinarily coincidental.

That's one way. Uni life isn't all that different from HSC life - independent thought is encouraged to a larger extent, I suppose, but that's all to the good...
