Can anyone please let me know an estimated percentage of engineering students scoring above 75% in their exams? Does Monash follow the "bell-shaped curve" grading system in NUS? Are there "challenging" lecturers who love to give students an extra twist - thereby lowering the grade thresholds?
Depends really on the courses. I daresay some courses like ENG1091 (Maths) and ENG1060 (Computing) would have higher percentage of students getting HD. Monash does not follow bell curve grading system. There aren't any "challenging" lecturers as far as I know, because at the end of the day, classes which have a low pass percentage would reflect a bit bad towards the lecturer. In Monash the grade thresholds are quite clear. Also, at the end of the day, many of the exam papers are set in Clayton, with some help from the Malaysian lecturers (this happens for Engineering at least).
