Please Note: The course profile refers to the quiz as being 20 questions and having a maximum of two attempts.
questions but may be attempted as many times as you wish (with only the last attempt being counted). As the quiz has already been attempted by some students, the number of questions cannot be changed in Moodle to match the profile, however, to ensure students are not disadvantaged in any way, the total marks that can be awarded for the quiz has been increased by a bonus 5%.
What does this mean?
It means that instead of 100 marks (%) being available for the course, there are now 110 marks - 15 (Quiz 1) + 15 (Quiz 2) + 30 (Written Assignment) + 50 (Exam) = 110. Grades are still calculated out of 100 (so a pass is still 50 marks, a Credit 65 etc.), but now you can score up to an extra 10 marks (5 in each quiz).
How does this affect me?
Say you score 10/30 in your quiz (i.e. you answer 10 questions correctly), this would have given you a mark of 3.33 out of 10. With the bonus 5% weighting, this means your mark will be 5/15. The effect of the bonus and the potential difference in the course outcome can be seen in this example:
