English term

Mod Decn

English to Spanish Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy Expediente académico
Certificado de notas de una universidad de Inglaterra.

Se trata del título de una de las columnas de la tabla (junto con "module code", "module title", "credit", "level", "mark", "att.", "result" y "mod. grd").

En las casillas que le corresponden a esta columna, siempre se indica "weighting" + un número (ejemplo, "weighting 1.00").

Entiendo que "mod." corresponde a "module", y que hablamos de ponderación de créditos pero, ¿de qué es la abreviatura "Decn"?

¡Cualquier ayuda es bienvenida!

Jul 24, 2023 10:22: Beatriz Ramírez de Haro changed "Level" from "Non-PRO" to "PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Pablo Cruz, Adoración Bodoque Martínez, Beatriz Ramírez de Haro

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

You're right, Althea.

I've just emailed the University. Let's see what they say!

Thank you!
Althea Draper Jul 24, 2023:
No, description would normally be 'desc' not 'decn'. More likely to be something like decision but as this term seems to be unique to this university you would probably be best asking them.

In the link in my last entry, the headings don't refer to the weightings at all - only to the first row eg on page 3 - PMR307, Honours Project, 40, 6, 80.03, 1 and A relate to the headings. There are no numbers or letters referring to Mod Decn and Mod Grd. Assignment, Marking Status, Mark%, Att, Result and Weighting are all subheadings relating to the four assignments in this module and are not 'under' the Mod Decn and Mod Grd headings.
Alohomora (asker) Jul 24, 2023:
Yes, Althea. The certificate is exactly like that one (also Plymouth University).

"Description" sounds fine, but could "weighting 1.00" be considered a description?
Althea Draper Jul 24, 2023:
@Alohomora Is the certificate like this one?

If so, it looks like 'Mod Decn' and 'Mod Grd' possibly relate to moderation decisions and moderated grades. Why not email or phone the university and find out what they really mean - I'm sure they will be quite helpful.

Creo que no hace mucho preguntaron lo mismo de Inglés > Francés.

Estoy casi seguro que es DESCRIPTION i.e. "Module Description"
