The grade distribution for the SBEG3163 System Analysis and Design course during Semester 1 of the 2022/2023 academic session, which included a total of 47 students, offers valuable insights into the overall performance of the class.
It’s notable that none of the students achieved the highest grade of A+, which could imply that the course presented significant challenges, and no one attained a perfect score. However, a noteworthy portion of the class, specifically seven students, did manage to secure an A grade, indicating excellent performance and a deep understanding of system analysis and design concepts. Moreover, a substantial number of students, precisely 16, received an A-, demonstrating that they performed well but fell slightly short of the top grade. Eight students earned a B+ and six received a B, signifying above-average and satisfactory performance, respectively. Another eight students were awarded a B-, suggesting a passable understanding of the course material but room for improvement. Additionally, only one student received a C+ grade, while another received a C, indicating below-average performance and a need for significant improvement. Remarkably, there were no students who received a C- grade, implying that those who struggled typically scored below the C level.
In conclusion, the grade distribution reveals a diverse range of performance levels within the class. While a significant portion achieved high grades (A, A-), a substantial number received B and B- grades, indicating satisfactory but not exceptional performance. The presence of C and C+ grades for a few students underscores the importance of providing additional support or intervention for those facing challenges with the course material. Overall, this distribution highlights a mix of high-performing students and those who may benefit from additional efforts to improve their grasp of system analysis and design concepts.
