    Hi Folks,

    Quick question about the grading in Maths exams in UCD. What do the bulk of the marks go for? In State Exams its mainly on the side of method and "keeping at it" Is it the same in UCD? Or do most of the marks go for the right answer?

    Thanks!

    Well it varys for different lecturers but all of my lecturers have said you'll get the bulk of the marks for the method and figuring the problem out, and only a few marks will go for the actual correct answer.

    Thanks fillmore jive. I know it probably varies but I was just curious as to the general idea.
