Degree classification

Just got the T171 results in and so that's all 360 points in the bag
(at last!)

Does anyone know, or know where to look to determine what the likely
classification of my BSc will be?....

You have 1112 and 1223 that gives a 2.1 Another 1 at level 2 or a 2 at
level 3 would give you a first.

congratulations on sticking it out for 7 years!

cheers Mike - I think an upper 2nd is more likely from a bit of reading
I've done on google.

and to all those just embarking on their first OU course... I felt
pretty good when I got the Diploma in Computing, but this beats it by a
mile and the effort has been worthwhile.

thanks Mark - when my daughter was born I took a breather (well,
something had to give!) - it actually took quite a bit of effort to get
back into things and sign up for a course when I resumed - I'm glad I
did and it certainly was worth making the effort.

Will I now get withdrawl symptoms I wonder? Maybe it's time to take a
peek at the taught masters pages....... <G

I think it is 1112 and 1122 because it is only the highest credits that
count if there are in excess of 120 credits at each level - This works
out at a first according to the OU charts AJ "Mark Townshend"

Have another look. I see:
6. M353
7. M357
8. M355
9. M301 At level 3, and you only need 1/2 of the 33 of M301 to
give 1223.

The OU will send you your classification in the new year. Mine arrived
about 5th January this year. Congratulations on getting all those
distinctions. I didn't get any and got a 2.1 so I hope you get a first,
brain box!

If you have access to Firstclass (which as an OU student you should
have), then it can be accessed via OU Shield -> Info Centre -> Degree
Information.

Or, I believe, it can be accessed via
http://www.westnet.u-net.com/leningrad.htm

It can indeed be accessed from that url - just entered my results there
and came out as 2.1 as Mark said.
