I think that's probably closer to other UK universities too. At Cambridge 70% is a First (the highest grade, only 5-15% of people get that) and 80% is a Starred First, which is very rare.
Carl-E:
Here, 75% is considered "average", a C, while the top grade of A only goes to those over 90%.
90 - 100% = A (Excellent)
80 - 89% = B (Above Average)
70 - 79% = C (Average)
60 = 69% = D (Below Average)
Below 60% = F (Failing)
One guy I worked with would regularly remind students to "...remember, D stands for Diploma!"
Thrillho:
Then I sincerely hope that everything you guys do is easier than what we do. The idea that 70-79% is average sounds preposterous to me.
Saying that, I got a lot of firsts on assignments at uni, but it did mean that it seemed basically impossible to excel at anything.

So.. I'm done with Christmas shopping for this year.
A cigar and a CD for dad
Headphones and a book with art by Lars Lerin (GOOGLE IT! You won't be sorry you did, unless you, like, hate art) for mum
Make-up stuff for little sister 1
Bunch of comics for little sister 2, which she will love, guaranteed
and some music I recorded for the girlfriend.
If this doesn't result in at least 5 happy faces this Christmas, I will crap my pants.
Barmymoo:
Ugh. I have to get up at 5.45 tomorrow to catch a 6.30 train to get arrive an hour early at an interview for a course I probably couldn't do even if I got a place. This seems like much less of a good plan than it did last month.
