The results of the Group
wiki
are now available. This sheet shows just your individual grades.
For maximum clarity, you can also check the full results sheet
which shows how the grades were derived.
Firstly, we marked the whole wiki: this is shown on the left of the
spreadsheet. Secondly, we figured out individual contribution for each
student: this is shown on the right of the spreadsheet. This is out of
50: some marks come out higher than this due to high relative
contribution. These grades are capped at 50 to produce a grade. Finally, we
adjusted the grade for the wiki group according to individual
contribution: this is shown at the far right.
Weightings were used as follows: word count (85%), page count (7.5%),
revision count (7.5%). If the contribution was a positive one overall,
then a factor of 2 was used to modify the grade. If the contribution was
negative overall, then a factor of 3.5 was used to modify the grade.

The results of the Systems, Networks and Hypertext test
