Marks breakdown COSC242 and COMP151
M. J. Cui made this Official Information request to University of Otago
The request was successful.
From: M. J. Cui
Dear University of Otago,
I would like to request under the Official Information Act some
information relating to student grades for COSC 242 2020, COMP 151 2021. (Note: For the papers I have selected one is for 2020 and one is for 2021)
I would like to request a statistical breakdown of the average grade
distribution for the years 2021 semester 1. For
example, 7% of students got an A+ in POLS papers, 2% got an A+ in
LAWS, 5% got an A+ in PHIL, etc.
If possible can this data please be sent in a machine-readable format where one table is for COSC242 and one table is for COMP151, so ideally in a spreadsheet format, rather than inside a PDF?
An example of the format is found in the below link.

Feel free to contact me if you want me to clarify my request.
Yours faithfully,
Mike

Dear UoO - Official Information Act,
Yes, grade breakdowns for the COSC242 paper in 2020 and the COMP151 paper in 2021 would be fine.
The format where it says --the number of students that got A+, the number of students that got A, the number of students that got A- and so on-- would be satisfactory.
Yours sincerely,
M. J. Cui
