We had done that, all previous semesters' results are up but nothing for the one just gone.

If your QCA is 2.00 or above after repeating the F you do not need to repeat the other 2 Ds, they're optional if you want to improve your QCA. Basically, as long as you have no Fs and your QCA is 2 or greater you can have Ds

cheers for that.

im in first year so i just need to scrape past the 2.00 and its a clean slate in second year we're told

anyone know how you go about getting the grades checked?

Yeah I know mate, surely it's not any different this year. Were you below 2.0 when you went into the repeats last year?

I wouldn't think so....My QCA was 1.80(I think) for the year going into the repeats with 2 Fs and had a few Ds also.

Similar enough to me, I'm 1.8 with 1 F and 4 Ds.

If I get a C3 in the F I'm up to 2.06 or something like that. Might repeat one of the Ds too.

If you work out the different QCA scenarios it might help ya make a decision or post your exact grades here(only if you won't) and more people can give their input....Up to yourself

Cheers lad, might do that later. All I wanted to know was whether I HAD to repeat all four or whether the Ds were optional.

For a fact I didn't have to repeat all the Ds just the F but I said I'd play it safe and repeat some of em.........If that has changed since it happened me last year I apologize.....I can only go from my own personal experience of the situation

Eire-Dearg wrote: »

So I don't have to repeat all four?

Ah here come on lads :pac:

JakeyGriff wrote: »

I had the same issue myself a year ago.....You don't have to repeat the Ds but you have to make sure that you don't get a D in the repeat exam for the F or your QCA could be in trouble and you threw away a chance then. I would recommend repeating at least one of the Ds because you can't do worse than a D in it and it covers your ass if you don't get a c3 in the F module.

Eire-Dearg wrote: »

That's only 1, I've to repeat 4?!

What a joke this system is. The F is bringing me down not the Ds.

I have 2 F's aswell. Sweet looks like I'll only have to repeat two so. Delighted, although I have repeats for the stupidet reasons ever.

Ya no worries. It's just that the Student Records calculates your residual QCA(what you can get if you have no Ds or Fs after the max of 4 repeats) as if you are going to repeat 4 modules, in your case an F and 3Ds so make sure to work out your QCA yourself as if the Ds were to be not repeated but the F is(obviously)......Work it out for the F becoming a D2,D1,C3 and see where you stand then......Sorry about the long winded rant but I've been through it before and it's not nice so if i can help i will....Good Luck with it!

Glad I could help....Hey, we all do some stupid stuff and say "Why?" but what's done is done and all ya can do now is go grab yourself two C3s in the repeats and maybe a few pints along the way!:D

I know woke up half an hour late for an exam and then a module which required online hw to be done to passed I didn't get due to a computer error, I'd say I easily got a B in the exam, lecturer was in no way helpful either. Got so depressed at the end of 2nd semester when I didn't think I'd even pass enough to repeat but absolutely delighted to have the chance to go back. Won't make the same mistakes next year, thats what they all say though :P.

Anyone here do Law and Accounting or did Law and Accounting? I got a d1 in Criminal Law 1 just wondering do I have to repeat and pass it for the sake of exemptions if decide to go down that route at the end of my degree.

Also anyone know if lecturers will be replying to emails, have a query and was going to email.

I know I was so pissed off with myself after it, had pulled more or less an all nighter and decided to have an hour's kip before the exam, set my alarm and all, don't know whether it just didn't go off or I turned it off in my sleep (sounds stupid but has happened a number of times to me).

garv123 · 21-06-2011 2:23am

can anyone answer which QCA must be over 2.00? is it this semesters or is it the average of both semesters?

Your QCA is the first and second semester added together and then divided by 2.

SarahBeep! · 21-06-2011 2:17pm

A lot of people are saying they failed modules where thay did really well in the project/course work but still failed. Often if you fail any part of the module you fail overall. Worth getting them rechecked though.

Indeed ,is it not however a requirement that you be informed that a pass in each component of a module is necessary at the beginning of that module??
(Section 1.4.3 Handbook of academic regulations and procedures ? ). I've currently got a fail in a module for which i got 32% in coursework , however the lecturer never outlined the basis for course assement at the beginning of the semester

same as you here. none of us were aware of it and we even had to buy the module note book thingys in the print room giving us all the info except for the fact that u had to get a certain grade in the exam

Zeouterlimits · 21-06-2011 8:00pm

A1, A2, B1, B1 and ... a D1.

****ing stupid module with a worse lecturer. Blight upon
my records and my QCA.

Connavar · 21-06-2011 8:14pm

@zeouterlimits .Im pretty sure I know you from your username and can assume it was a certain ethics module that gave you that D1. If thats the case it happened to all the top students who took his course the year before too

EDIT: Just realised that that post was creepy sounding. This is Niall from kerry. If you are who I think you are I know your username from gaming in the internet cafe with you before

Zeouterlimits · 22-06-2011 8:01am

Thanks for the reply Niall (and hey).

Skyrim · 22-06-2011 2:56pm

Anybody here do PO4022 in the exams? Got a C1, took it gratefully, it was a hard enough module.

Are you 100% sure on this and what is your source? im getting mixed replies and its a €171 question for me.

does the overall QCA = 2.0 or 2.0 for each semester to pass the year?

anyone speak to SAA that knows about it?

Your QCA must be 2.00 for the year. So you can get 2.2 first semester and 1.8 second semester.

You can proceed to next year if your QCA is greater than 2.00 and you have no outstanding Fs.

Thats assuming that the total credits for the modules in both semesters are equal

Yes and assuming the factor is the same for both semesters.

They usually are for 1st and 2nd year but change for 3rd and 4th.

The easiest thing to do is just go onto Student Records, View results so far, View all results and see what your Accumulated QCA is next to the last set of results for this semester just gone.

It is 2.0 for the year cause last year I got 1.68 and 2.32 for semester one and two

Anyone know about the grades being capped at a c3? Does this mean that I have to write an A1 standard answer to get a C3? or will any standard higher than a C3 achieve a capped C3 result

you can study your ass off for the repeat and get a A1 in the exam but it will only count as a c3 study your ass off and get a c3 and it will still count as a c3

Hi guys. Does anyone know where I can find a re application form online for someone who has failed the year? It says to submit by email or fax and I don't have a fax machine or scanner so looking for an online copy. It has to be sent in tomorrow.

gloryutd · 23-06-2011 5:41pm

Every email I am sending to scc@ul.ie is bouncing back now too. Have sent emails to sa@ul.ie but no reply. You'd think they would be really active on the deadline day for re admission applications. Worried now.

Yeah true, or you could study your ass off, get an A1, remember the material and graduate with some knowledge from your degree...

bedstuybosco · 28-06-2011 12:37pm

Is it worth looking for a re-check of exam?

Is'nt it just the same lecturer re-correcting it again?

Lecturer doesn't correct them, an external examiner does so I presume someone else corrects them the second time.

Are you sure?

i was under the impression that the lecturer corrected them and the external examiner just took a sample?

Anybody else have any thoughts
