Results!
Well, thanks to Ben for pointing out that the University grades are now available from the awful ‘Myportal’ web page – a labyrinth of dreadfully-designed hyperlinks. The long and short of it is though; I now have the results from my 2nd year modules!
They’re listed below, highest first (all grades are out of a maximum of 15!):
- Advanced Routing: 15
- Remote Access Networks: 15
- LAN Switching & WAN Networks: 15
- Introduction to IP Telephony: 14
- Management in Organisations: 12
- Fundamentals of Network Security: 10
- Communications: 10
- Organisational Systems for Engineers: 8
To put the numbers into perspective; 13-15 is a 1st, 10-12 is a 2:1, 7-9 is a 2:2, and 4-6 is a 3rd.
So for my second year, which contributes to 25% of my over-all degree mark, my mean average grade is currently 12.375 – a high 2:1. It can be said that it might’ve been a nice even 1st if it wasn’t for that 2:2 in Organisational Systems, but you could also say that I should’ve done better in Network Security (I really should – I definitely didn’t revise enough for that exam 
)
But, it’s a nice starting point for my third (and final) year. Come September ’08, if I put in as the required amount of work, I might just get that 1st class honours degree. Can only hope eh? 
VERY well done!
We all know that you are damn good at your job
So … any idea what Jon’s grades are ?
Aww, thank you, Andy! (If Jon would be seen dead reading someone’s blog, there’d be a comment about bloggers bumming each other not too far away.. lol)
Jon would’ve had his results 12 months back – they’re probably not all that dissimilar to mine, though he did take slightly different modules.
Me? Good? Wait till Jon goes .. Every 5 seconds there’ll be a call to 2030
I had to register, JUST to let you know that I came here to read about some personal gibberish and instead you have scared me with what looks like the most tormenting and cruel math task ever! How very rude ;o
How is that tormenting OR cruel?! I wrote it for a start!
