BOS made $22,000+ in Clerical Rechecks in 2006 (1 Viewer)

[me121]

That's right, the Office of the Board of Studies collected more than $22 000 from 2006 HSC students to check to see if they had entered their marks correctly.

Of course, that's not taking into account the expenses involved in such an operation.

actually it was 1751 course rechecks.

 

[katie_tully]

1751 = $22,000?

check, mate.

 

[me121]

1751 = $22,000?

check, mate.

recheck per paper costs $12.80 (english is $25.50), so 12.80*1751=$22 412.8

do you want me to check again?

I always thought that if there was an error they refunded the money... that's what it is with the UMAT...

 

[Aplus]

They make the error. You pay them to ammend it. Sounds logical >_<

 

[Thought Shark]

22 large would be petty change for them, i'd assume.

 

[me121]

In my personal opinion I don't think that you should be charged to have the Board's mistakes corrected. I think that the Board should provide you will all your marks, and thus allow you to check yourself for clerical errors.

But I can see why they don't, because not only would that mean that raw marks are available, but they would get every second student ring up complaining why they were only given 2 marks for this question instead of 3!

But hey, what can one person do?

 

[me121]

Dude, they are a business.

Deal with it.

They are NOT a business!!! They are a government department! They are not there to make a profit! That said, they probably don't make a profit from clerical rechecks.
