Firstly, learn to spell and use full words.

Secondly, the credits are absolute, so you either get 5 or none. 100% = 5 credits, 40% = 5 credits, 20% = 0 credits etc.

theres nothing wrong with the term "yanno" and as for shortening the word "you" into "u" , its not a gramatical crime.

thanks for your concern and your comment was much appreciated.

You need so many credits to complete your course but in the award year the grades you get give you your GPA (Grade Average - 1st class honours / 2nd class etc etc)
