Could someone work this maths out?

49.3%

Could someone work this maths out. So Im doing a degree and second year scores contribute to 25% of the total degree score. In my second year I got 57%

The third year consists of 4 modules and contributes 75% of the total degree mark. If I get 67%, 40%, 40% and 40% in third year what will my overall score be at the end of the degree?

Do those 4 modules weigh equally? Theres not enough information to carry out a definitive calculation

Yes they are the same weighting. I was also wondering whether or not units get capped at 40% if an assessment is failed. Say there were 2 assessments/essays in a unit with equal weighting and you got 70% for one but failed the other at 30%. Even though you had to resit the failed assessment would the total mark for unit be 50% or would it be capped at 40..

Why are you aiming so low? You should at least shoot for three modules at 55% and up and one weak.... not understanding your logic, there is still time! second sem just started.. you have to carry those grades around the rest of your life tbf!!!

Im finding things difficult ever since the words critical analysis and synthesis were mentioned a few weeks ago. I have a research proposal to do and Ive not started it because I've absolutely no idea how to do a literature search or why they are done. I attended the seminar on it but it was all aimed at quantitative research and it confused me, as Im doing a qualitative design. Everyone else seems to understand it.

Also my grades won't matter in the long run. Some employers gave a talk at my university and at the end when asked if anyone had any questions someone asked 'do you take into account degree classification', they looked at each other blankly and just shook their heads and said no they wouldn't take it into account, everyone started laughing. Im studying nursing so all employers are concerned about are professional skills and knowledge.

surely you couldnt have done nearly 3 years without hearing first year terms like critical analysis? i dont know whats going on in nursing but that doesnt sound good for the NHS, nor do those employers have high aspirations... maybe im too used to nurses being high paid and extremely smart (US).Always sad to see how second class they are taught in UK and im also German so its not just hear. In business (course i do) i think research and critical analysis is all our degree is about, maybe it differs. If all you need is a pass though best of luck, i know if i graduated with a 2:2 or god forbid lower i would sink into the floor lol.

i sure hope you don't become a nurse.

Yea I know I'm **** Ive heard it off others you don't need to tell me. One woman said that if I was on a ward and she walked on she'd just turn round and walk out. Same woman told a guy not to ask me about blood pressure as I wouldn't know, apparently he was going to. A nurse assistant told another student that she can't image me running a ward as Im far too quiet. Somehow Ive managed to pass so far though. The comments can knock your confidence after a bit. Funnily enough all the people who have said **** haven't even been to university.

It has nothing to do with comments, more with your proficiency, I would trust you in killing someone. To be honest as long as you can do the job then it is fine, if you cannot please dont jeapordise someone health

Ive made mistakes that Ive not even posted on here. Ive even had a verbal warning. So has my friend, for taking someone on a respiratory ward off a medical device, she didn't know that he might have died with ought it. Yet she received full marks on placements and has already secured a job. Everyone in healthcare has made a mistake, not everyone tells people though or posts their weaknesses on a forum. Though isn't it up to the people assessing me to decide my proficiency, as opposed to people who don't do nursing? Did you know that one of the most important things in healthcare to have is self awareness, of your weaknesses.

Why would you trust me in killing someone?

yes but i am not pinpointing just you anyone that makes such a fatal mistake is not just self awareness, all research done on culture of work environment and how to study INCLUDES practices of 2nd and 3rd world countries or ethnic minorities. The reason i mention this is because their reasons for decisions and what is acceptable VARIES.

So just because you or your colleague has learnt it is bad to kill someone, really isn't sufficient enough to allow you to be a competent nurse especially if working in the ICU ..come on. this is no joke.

it is sarcasm, i trust that you will be able to kill someone

I don't understand the first bit.

Pretty much everyone I know in nursing has weaknesses or has made mistakes. The nurses who have looked after you, you don't know their background or weaknesses you just automatically trust them. The difference is I have been honest and posted my faults on a public forum. Better the devil you know as they say : p I don't plan in staying in nursing long anyway. Theres that much pressure on nurses theres many that are quitting, often the workload in humanly impossible.

i know people make mistake sbut i believe its all the new nurses from the past 5-10 years that lack experience because they actually don't have much knowledge and experience compared to old nurses its a completely different cohort and things are made much more simplistic now.

What do you mean things are made more simplistic?

My mum is an old nurse and she actually trained in the hospital, she did some theory and obviously has many practical skills but she doesn't know how to critically analyse research nor has she much in depth knowledge on physiology, yet she knows enough to do the job. For example she can't explain the pathophysiology behind pain to the level I have been taught it whereas with nurses these days its part of the curriculum. Then again maybe they didn't have as much solid research out back then.
