What is the difference between a mark and a grade?
Updated 04/08/2021 02.25 PM
Marks are awarded for individual assessment items, grades are awarded for courses.
A mark is the level of achievement against specified criteria for an assessment item (e.g. a mark of 30/40 for an assessment).
A grade is the overall level of achievement for a course, usually determined by combining the marks of the individual assessment items that make up the course. For example, adding the marks for an assignment (30/40), in-class quiz (10/10) and a final exam (45/50) will provide you with your final marks, (85/100) and the equivalent grade will be awarded at the end of the course.
The Course Profile outlines individual assessment item details, including criteria for marking. You can find your Course Profile via the course profile/outline search.
