Dear Bridget
OIA 25.300 Civil and Natural Resource Grade breakdown
I refer to the Official Information Act (the Act) request dated 7 July 2025 regarding the breakdown of grades
for specific Civil and Natural Resource courses. You have specifically requested:
I would like to request grade breakdowns for the fol owing Civil and Natural Resources Engineering courses:
•
ENCN412-25S1
•
ENCN446-25S1
•
ENCN452-25S1
•
ENCN454-25S1
For the courses listed above, please provide the fol owing data:
(1) The final grade distribution for the course (broken down by letter grade, e.g. A+, A, A-, ... etc.)
(2) The number of students who completed the course
(3) The mean and median final marks for the course (percentage)
Please see overleaf a table with your requested information. Please note that where 5 or less students
achieved a certain grade, the individual number is not provided, but a range of less than or equal to five. This is
done under s 9(2)(a) of the Act, to protect the privacy of natural persons. Where any grounds under s 9(2) of
the Act, the public interest must be considered under s 9(1). It is in the public interest to provide a range of the
number of students that achieved a particular grade, whilst protecting those students from being individually
identifiable. For an explanation of the grading scale please see
here.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about
how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
