Dear all
If the university concerned is using the ECTS scheme (there are
still relatively few in Germany as far as I can see) then we enter
them according to the conversion scheme, if not then we convert
them to the Sheffield marking scale (16 points) according to criteria
we have previously agreed on at departmental level. Moderation of
marks strikes me as quite a complicated and potentially unfair
system. If the student gets a 1 in Germany then they get a 1st
class mark for it here (ie a 15 on our scale).
