MSO health scis, ever the high achievers
Good stuff to those who are happy with their marks, and for those who aren't, just remember that it's plussage, so you've got a chance to better it in the final.

 

[hermafish]

20/20 too, woo! Very happy considering I struggle a lot with physics normally

 

[Sam]

Thank god for plussage, all I can say xD. Congrats everyone else!

Regardless of how things went, the grand prize lies waiting in June.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Does anyone else have an unbelievably low result??? I really don't understand how I could've gotten 10! I am going to go check with the chem dept... After having a cry...

They really messed it up, I'm currently listed as ***absent*** as are other people on this website (the person I sat beside in the exam is also absent!) and with that roughly 10% (150) people are absent. I think they really mucked up their scores. Don't worry too much at this stage, results will probably change a fair bit.

CELS results are out..

Hey guys, where do we find our chem results?

 

[frootloop]

This wouldn't be the first time marks have been screwed up. Our BIOC final last year had similar problems, and the HEAL final a few years ago did too. If it's marked 10% of people as 'absent', then I'd imagine there's been a mistake (although that bell-curve lul posted doesn't show 10% of people as 'zero', so I don't know what's going on there).
But yeah, don't panic, it looks to me like there's been a mistake, in which case they'll fix it (if not this afternoon, then Monday).

18/20 for CELS yay! And considering my chem exam was an abbbsolute disaster I am very, very content with an 18/30.. I was counting on having failed so I'll quietly breathe a big sigh of relief..

Oh goodness, hope that doesn't effect my mark.. was so relieved with scraping a pass with chem..

Could go either up or down, or stay the same, they quite possibly only muddled up a few of the marks. If you think the mark you've been given accurately reflects how you felt the test went, then there's hopefully not too much to worry about

Grats to all who are happy with their marks, and good luck with the chem confusion.

Blackboard -> Chem191 -> Course information. Should be right at the top! Goodluck!!

Also, apparently they mucked up putting out the results for teachers block G07 (my room lol) and are going to put them up soon. So don't stress if you're marked as Absent and you know you were there.
