I. Overview
It is reported that after the mid-term exam results of the first subject were announced, UNSW's friends cried. The number of students who failed this course was as high as 82, and the failure rate reached 30%.
This topic is business school FINS 3626. Let's look at the fractional distribution of internal outflow:
In fact, this course is not the worst, and another subject, ACCT5943, is even more "awesome". 124 students failed the exam, and the unqualified rate was 4 1%!
Second, why didn't UNSW pass the exam?
In fact, this may be the reason. In recent years, UNSW quietly killed the University of Sydney, the "sworn enemy in the same city", and squeezed into the top three in Australia, according to the QS World University ranking.
For example, in the QS World University Ranking of 20 18, UNSW ranks 3rd in Australia and 45th in the world, while the University of Sydney ranks 5th in Australia. ....
UNSW not only develops rapidly in the comprehensive field, but also ranks among the top in the world in the professional field.
2065438+April 2008, Emery Berger, a professor at the School of Computer and Information Science at MIT, jointly released the open source project CSranking, ranking the strength of global universities in the field of computer science.
? Calculation basis of ranking score: Different from the method of US News and World Report (only based on survey), CSranking mainly ranks papers published by top academic conferences of computer science in universities, and measures the number of papers published by most university faculty members in top clubs of computer science. This can help people better understand the strength of systems and teachers in the field of computer science in universities around the world.
? Score calculation method: each paper is accurately calculated once, and finally the score is calculated by calculating the average value of all authors. All the papers used in the data are from DBLP.
The ranking areas are divided into eight categories, including: the United States, Canada, the United States and Canada, North America, Asia, Australia, Europe and the world. Then, according to the papers published in the last ten years (2007-20 18), the strength of colleges and universities is ranked, and the data deadline is February 20 18 19.
Thirdly, the article is divided into four directions:
? AI: Artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning and data acquisition, natural language processing, and network information retrieval.
? Systems: computer architecture, computer network, computer security, database, automation design, embedded real-time system, high-performance computing, mobile computing, measurement and performance analysis, operating system, programming language and software engineering.
? Theory: algorithm and complexity, cryptography, logic and verification.
? Interdisciplinary fields: computational biology and bioinformatics, computer graphics, economics and computing, human-computer interaction, robotics, visualization.
The paper direction/year, the distribution area of colleges and universities, and the ranking method can be randomly combined. The results of different combinations are different.
In the specific ranking, we can see that UNSW ranks first in Australia!
UNSW ranks 73rd in the world rankings.
It can be seen that when the comprehensive strength of UNSW is improved, the failure rate is also relatively improved.
Regarding UNSW's recent "excellent" performance, eight other universities in Australia said that your failed courses are still a little tender ~ After all, the king of failed courses in Australia has now changed hands to the University of Sydney!
Remember that two large-scale failures of the University of Sydney dominated the fear of the whole study abroad circle? The following is the relevant content we reported before:
ABC once reported that the University of Sydney hanged hundreds of international students for no reason! And rejected the students' demands!
The article also published some startling data: in the first semester of 20 15, about 37% of the students in 1200 failed in a course called BUSS 5000 at the University of Sydney!
In the second semester of that year, about 12% of the students also failed in another course called buss 6000 successful in Business!
And these two courses are compulsory subjects for the Master of Business at the University of Sydney!
Let's try it. For example, in class BUSS5000, 37% of students in 1200 failed the course, which means ↓
444 students failed the exam!
444 students failed the exam!
444 students failed the exam!
