Sue R Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Being basically impatient I've been haunting my OU Student page - if you're waiting for this result have a look at yours, mine was there this morning. I actually managed to pass, even having misread a question that I thought was my best answer Phew, thank goodness there's no resit, not a bad grade, either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gezabel Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 just thought I would enlighten people what OES and OCAS are in 'OU speak' the OES is the overall examinable score - this is the mark awarded for a final piece of work in a course, it may be an actual exam or a written project and is 'bigger' in terms of workload than the assignments written during the course the OCAS is the overall continuous assessment score which is the final mark awarded for all the assignments. They do not just add up the individual scores of assignments and average them out but each assignment is 'weighted' where a percentage of the individual mark is taken and at the end all these 'percentage marks' are added up. So in a course where there are 8 assignments the percentage they will use varies, it may be 10% of the mark for your first assignment, 17% of the second and so on. The first assignment always has a lower weighting so if you kind of mess up on the first one it won't have a huge impact on you OCAS as there is plenty of time to try and improve in remaining assignments. The OU then have four bands for course results Distinction (or pass 1) Pass2 Pass 3 Pass 4 and to achieve any one band your OCAS and OES have to be of a certain percentage and it's 85% for a distinction but you have to score this in both OCAS and OES ANy clearer - hope it's not too garbled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
