UK PATT
programmes averaged a
completion rate of 72% this semester. The plot to the left shows the
average weekly
completion rate for all of the flexed programmes, along with the hours
lost to weather or used for engineering per week.The top 10 ranked
programmes averaged a completion rate of 74%. The plot to the right
showns the completion per week over the semester for each of the top 10
programmes |

The plot
to the left shows the
completion by rank for flexed programmes. As shown in the plot to the
right, programmes requiring
dry
conditions or strict seeing conditions fared the worst this semester.
This semester, the largest affect on programme completion has been the
30% of time lost to weather. |

Green
bars indicate science
observing, grey is engineering, and red
columns indicate time lost to faults or weather. The three columns to
the right give the totals.

These
plots summarise the number
of
faults, and the time lost faults. |
