Hi everyone,
In the coming days you'll receive your grade for COMP1010 from the university. Most of you will get a usual mark and grade (Pass, Credit, Distinction, High Distinction).
Some students will have a different mark next to their name. This post is to clarify some of those less-usual grades.
WC - Supplementary Exam Granted. Your application for special consideration has been accepted and you will have an opportunity to sit a supp exam instead of the final exam.
LE - Late Entry. This means that your overall grade was over 50%, but you did not do well enough in the final exam to demonstrate competency in the course. We take into account that this is most of your first time doing a computer programming exam and you are being offered another opportunity to attempt this requirement. Please keep an eye on your e-mail for further details about this opportunity.
UF - Unsatisfactory Fail. While your grade is high enough to pass the course, you did not achieve a high enough mark in the final exam to pass the course. I have used my discretion in these situations to offer some students from this category an opportunity to re-attempt this course requirement, and their grades will show up as LE. If you get a UF, but believe that if you were offered another opportunity to pass a task similar to the exam, that you would succeed, then you may e-mail me and I will allow you this opportunity. (Note, I'm not sure why students with grades in the 40s might fall into this category. From my understanding, a final grade in the 40s should be counted as a failing grade.)
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about your grade.
Cheers,
Sim.
