How do I work out my year average?
Every year’s average is worked out according to the credits of your modules.
You will need to work out what fraction you have achieved for the total credits for every module in the year.
Then, add these values, per module, together and divide it by the total maximum credit load for the year and multiple it by 100.
This will be illustrated through an example:
ExampleYear 1:
Module 1: 17 credits
Module 2: 19 credits
Module 3: 10 credits
Module 4: 60 credits
Module 5: 30 credits
The total credits for ExampleYear 1 = 136
If you scored the following per module, they would contribute the following fraction of credits to your total:
Module 1: 74% = 74/100 x 17 = 12,58
Module 2: 70% = 70/100 x 19 = 13,3
Module 3: 60% = 60/100 x 10 = 6
Module 4: 80% = 80/100 x 60 = 48
Module 5: 72% = 72/100 x 30 = 21,6
Divide the sum of these by 136 and multiply it by 100 to get your year average:
12,58 + 13,3 + 6 + 48 + 21,6 = 101,48/136 x 100 = 74,6%
