I don't know. I think it would be nice to have stats people teach undergraduate stats. It all depends.

At my uni stats profs teach undergrad stats to all majors. I think it’s good for our students. Though ofc not everyone is a good teacher, that’s aside from area expertise.

Just curious if you know the DFUW rates of those courses? If the stats dept is successful, perhaps other unis could learn from them?

(DFW rate = proportion of students who fail with D or F or by withdrawing from the course.)

Never heard of it either but we also don't give letter grades but percentages when we mark.

It's a bit bizarre. We don't give percentages over 70% often. UK system is far from a good way to of things.

It depends - the Open University has a model which uses the whole scale and works hard to use it consistently. I've given marks of 100 (actually HU because all marks had to be two digits back then) when I was a tutor. Also many use grade point systems now.

The OU always seems so progressive!
