Grading and Credits

Wasn't sure where to ask this, so I'll post here.

Grades: If a project is 20% of the whole mark and you get 80%, do you get 80% out of the 20 (so it's 16)? Or do you get the whole 20% just because you didn't fail.

Credits: If you get a 70% grade for a module, do you receive 70% of the credits (7 out of 10) or do you get all 10 for passing?

Yes you get 16 in that case. You get all the credits for passing :smile:
As clairestelle said, although occasionally you may have assignments which are pass/fail, in which case a pass would get you the whole 20%
