Admin Module Expectations → Star Rating System
Star Rating System
We use a star rating system indicate the importance of module components. Start with things that are rated one-star and progress to things with more stars. Things rated four stars are optional.
Star ratings for topics (and textbook sections):
- One-star topics are essential to keep up with the module. We recommend you to learn these topics if you want to pass the module (i.e. up to a C grade).
- Two-stars topics can get you up to a B+.
- Three-stars topics can get you up to an A.
- Four-stars topics : OPTIONAL can push you beyond the limits of the module, and help you get into a level above those who merely limit themselves to the topics of the module. They are not examinable.
Star ratings for other things e.g., admin info sections:
- The module uses a similar star rating system to indicate the importance of other info in this website. i.e., information rated as one-star are the most essential. Info rated four stars are non-essential and can be ignored without affecting your ability to follow the module.
