What is the point in this section if we are going to have our transcripts sent to AADSAS? I mean isn't that what this section is, we just have to put down all the courses we took and our grades.......AKA transcript. I think i might be missing something. Please explain to me what we have to do for this coursework section. thanx.
 
All transcripts are presented differently. There is no standard way of reporting grades, length of course, type of course etc. There are a lot of differences with how schools report credits/units.. and that get's sorted/standardized easily with AADSAS Coursework. Not to mention, we have to classify our course into Science, BCP, Non-Science.. which isn't on our transcript.

I think the main reason for putting in our Coursework into AADSAS is so ADCOMs can compare us very easily with one another. They have all the information in a neat and *familiar* form where they don't have to search around.

I think they want us to take our time and put all the information down, so that the AADSAS employees will just have a look at it and check if we reported correctly. Otherwise, they have to spend an hour or more for putting all the courses down there to finally send it to the schools. IMHO.
