Dear Kai,
I refer to your request of 20 November 2024. The University’s response
follows:
I am writing to request detailed statistics for the following engineering
paper in the specified semester. Specifically, I would like to obtain the
following information:
High mark
Low mark
Median mark
Mean mark
Lower quartile
Upper quartile
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 refusal of this part of your request under section
18(g) of the OIA.
Number of students scoring each grade
Number of successful completions
Regarding 2023 Semester 2
MECHENG 222
MECHENG 211
MECHENG 236
The requested information is attached.
You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.
Yours sincerely,
Farleigh Quinlivan
