Dear Arthur,

 

I refer to your request of 20 November 2024.  The University’s response
follows:

 

This request is in regard to statistical data on student performance for
the following University of Auckland papers. Could the following
statistics please be provided under the Official Information Act

 

(1) Final grade distribution (broken down grade by grade, e.g., A+, A,
etc.).

(2) The mean numerical mark.

(3) The median numerical mark.

(4) The number of students who completed the following courses:

 

2024 semester 2:

 

BIOSCI 399

BIOMED 399

BIOSCI 353

BIOSCI 355

BIOSCI 358

BIOSCI 220

BIOSCI 202

BIOSCI 203

MEDSCI 204

MEDSCI 206

MEDSCI 314

MEDSCI 301

 

With respect to parts 2. and 3. of your request, 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.

 

The information requested in parts 1. and 4. of your request, are
attached.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan
