compensation rule


Explanation:
"Pass Marks and Compensation

The Pass mark for each unit examination in First and Second Years is 40%, and ideally students should pass all the Units for which they are registered.
However, the Examiners realise that not all students will achieve this ideal, and some students may pass most of their Units, getting good marks in some but just failing others. The following compensation rules have therefore been devised, whereby good marks can compensate for some fail marks; the degree of compensation permitted will depend on the mean mark across all units"
