    Statistics on uni results

    I know at UC lecturers can't scale marks. All 'raw' marks have to go to the Divisional Academic panel and if they see the marks are 'unusual' for that subject etc, they can scale marks.. Rarely happens though...

    Bell curve system

    Down here at Canberra (UC) they havent used any scaling for about 5 years now . The uni etc arent allowed to scale, we are given what makr we deserve, BUT all lecturers have to submit their assessments and marking criteria to the divisional board or something to ensure it is at the right standard.
