Receive a final result of HD

Today I picked up my final assignment with my final grade. To my ABSOLUTE joy, I recieved 26/30, which equals to 86%... which is a HD.

Considering that I got a HD for every assessment task for this unit, making my dream of getting a final HD basically in the bag.

However I’m not going to mark this as finished till I actually recieve the mark, which will be on Saturday. Awesome.

Yesterday I handed in my final assessment piece for the Cultural Study Tour I took part in this winter term.

I had already recieved a HD for the reflexive journal we had to maintain during our time abroad and full marks on a hurdle communications requirment meaning I would need a low HD to achieve this goal.

Personally I believe my essay to be at the C-D range, but that is also what I thought of my journal, so that is yet to be seen.

If I don’t get a HD for this subject, that is ok. I would be quite happy with a distinction, though it would be nice to be able to mark this goal as achieved. If not, I will power on – after all I still do have 8 more classes to complete before finishing my course!

At university I average on the cusp of a distinction for my overall marks, however I have improved this semester and only look to get better, with two HD’s for assessments already. Now I just have to crack the HD mark as a final result for a class.

The most annoying thing about this is that I have gotten HD level marks before, with two of my final marks being 82 this semester. However, because my universities marking system works a standard 5 marks above the standard in Melbourne, it is only seen to be a D.

Frustrating as it is, it’s something I have to deal with and I am absolutely determined to kick its ass and get myself that HD I deserve!
