Dear Lachlan,

 

I refer to your request of 4 November 2023. The information requested is
attached, subject to the following:

 

o The University does not hold final mark statistics. Grades, not marks,
are the University's final measure of academic assessment. Marks are
used for initial calculation of grades (see
[1]https://cdn.auckland.ac.nz/assets/auckla...)
but grades may be subsequently changed for various reasons, such as
aegrotat/compassionate consideration or academic misconduct. This
constitutes a partial refusal of your request under section 18(g) of
the OIA.
o The student grade information requested for the following courses is
withheld under section 9(2)(a), to protect their privacy:

o 2019 Semester 2 COMPSCI 750
o 2019 Semester 2 ENGSCI 741
o 2020 Semester 1 COMPSCI 717
o 2020 Semester 2 COMPSCI 715
o 2021 Semester 1 COMPSCI 767
o 2021 Semester 2 GEOTHERM 785
o 2022 Semester 1 COMPSCI 717
o 2022 Semester 1 GEOTHERM 785

o The following course were not offered or had no students enrolled:

o SOFTENG 753: Bayesian Machine Learning
o COMPSCI 712: AI Agency, Ethics, and Society
o COMPSCI 713: AI Fundamentals
o COMPSCI 714: AI Architecture and Design
o COMPSCI 764: Deep Learning - Level 9
o COMPSCI 769: Natural Language Processing - Level 9
o COMPSCI 771: Advanced Topics in Computer Graphics and Image
Processing
o COMPSCI 775: Advanced Multimedia Imaging
o COMPSCI 777: Computer Games Technology

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.

 

Yours sincerely,
