Re:
Faculty of Science response to the recommendations of the
Meeting on Grading (8 March 2006)
In discussion the Faculty expressed strong concern that students with 7 A- grades and
1 B+ grade would be excluded from First Class Honours and would prefer this was
addressed either through the GPA cut-off or the number of courses used in calculating
the grade of Honours.
However, overall the majority of Science departments support the recommendations.
