Do OU not give out 3rd class degrees then?  I thought it was 1st, 2:1,
2:2, 3rd and then pass.  (as someone with a 3rd I don't like being left
out:-)
I think with many Universities the percentages are not set in stone, but
dependant on the statistical perfomance within the exams.  Meaning that if
everyone in a particular course got between 70% and 90% only the top
people would get 1sts...  Not certain about this though
