Hi there,
So I'm studying BTEC in Software Engineering. I'm in Year 5 now (finishing my 2nd last module), this is part of a Degree Apprenticeship by the way. This covers levels 4 - 6.
I'm aware that 70% and above is of course a First class (A), but I'm just wondering how credits work and how they're calculated by the end of the degree. I've read a little about it and I'm still confused so I'll lay out my marks to help, and maybe we can use examples.
So let's say I'm doing 6 modules in level 5:
- Web/Mobile Dev (20)
- Research Methods (10)
- Work-based Project (30)
- Solution Architecture (20)
- Big Data (20)
- Business Strategy (20)
The funny thing here is that not all modules are 20 credits (may be an apprenticeship thing). The workbased project I do throughout the year and submit at the end of level 5.
So say I get the following for the above:
- Web/Mobile Dev (97%)
- Research Methods (60%)
- Work-based Project (60%)
- Solution Architecture (60%)
- Big Data (85%)
- Business Strategy (70%)
How would the credits and final grade for this year be calculated? I keep reading that the best credits out of 120 credits of year 5 will be calculated, etc. But the total credits is 120 credits right? Do you get 20 credits for passing a module, and are the marks seperately used in defining the class?
Sorry, absolutely confused here, but I'm really open to someone's explanation. And thank you!
