It's impossible to determine the scaling of new courses. Scaling is determined by the performance of the candidature for that subject and if no one has done it yet, then no scaling statistics can be made.

Is this a language course for students with Japanese heritage? Because if it is, then I assume there will be a lot of high raw marks, which I assume will reduce the effects of scaling...

I will repeat myself again,
