Ignore Moodle Percentage Mark for the midterm

Posted by Salil Kanhere a day ago.

Moodle appear to be showing you an inaccurate percentage mark. Simply ignore it. Your mark in Inspera is the correct mark.

Mid-term Exam Marks Released

Posted by Salil Kanhere a day ago.

The mid-term exam marks are now available. You can check your response and the correct answers to all questions in Inspera. Log into Moodle (or Inspera) and access the same mid-term exam link as before.

There is no pass or fail grade for the mid-term. It contributes to 20% of your final mark in the course. The final mark for the course will be computed as noted in the course outline.

Within Inspera, click "View Submission" on the main page to see the questions and your answers. The correct answers are visible at the bottom of each page under "Feedback". You can also navigate to the results page, which is after question 12 in the exam, to view a summary of your marks and the total mark.

On the main Inspera page, you will also see a candidate report ("View Report"). This includes answers to all questions as general feedback (same as in the above view) and specific feedback from your maker for the manually marked questions if marks were deducted.

Your total mark on the mid-term exam (out of 20) will also be available through WebCMS.

Questions 2 and 6 were manually marked. Where justified, partial marks were awarded. The rest of the questions were auto-marked. There are no partial marks for these questions.
