DS is finishing his second year at University. He is awaiting results but expects marks to be the same as usual i.e. mid-to-high 60s, perhaps low 70s. He says that he would like to get a First. He told me that they give students an option: either have second and third year equally weighted (50/50) or give more weighting to third year (70/30 iirc).
Is there any risk in going for the 70/30 option? He is doing a Humanity so I can't see that there will be any danger of a sudden leap in difficulty or failure to grasp concepts. Any comments?
