Not a happy bunny!:mad:
Lecturers are b*****ds!:rolleyes:

Ugh. Disgusting. I failed 3.

28, 35 and 36.

Not good.

How does the markup for repeats work: if a june exam was worth 40% of the year is the repeat worth 40%? Ive heard some people say its worth 100% when you repeat.

IronWolf

Last year, the August exam was worth 100%, therefore one needed to get 40% in the August exam to pass the year (which is a pain as CA is not included in the overall mark like it is in the summer exam).

Also, reasonably sure it is capped at 40%. ie, if one were to get 80% in the August exam, the end total for that subject would still be 40%

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, though I'm almost certain that's how it worked last year (for the CGD course anywho).

Overheal

Thats fine by me. It was actually CA that shot me down for Games engineering and Data Structures. The only thing I blame on exam poo* was the Applied Physics

Just got a call from Diarmuid O Se, he told me (I got 34%) that he would not be giving me the option to repeat the CA, so the CA will be carried over to the August exam.

ie, in my case I had to get 19% in the summer exam, I didn't get that. I now still have to get that mark in the August exam to pass the subject (much more reasonable then the 40% I had to get last year)

Its well worth it for everyone that has to repeat any subjects, to call your lecturers if you have any doubts about the marking scheme. If he didn't call me there's a fair chance I'd never have found out for myself :eek:

Jemmy

Anyone know is it possible to appeal results?!

One of my lecturers is holding class, get this today thurday and friday! And the letter only came lunchtime yesterday! Hello people have Jobs!

So anyway i decided id go the friday only bcoz of work and get the notes off a guy i know going to all three! Well he rang me earlier to say said lecturer decided he wasnt going to take friday after all bcoz 'he didnt feel like it'!

Fit to kill someone,so p****d off and thats putting it mildly! :mad:

What is carlow like.

youre telling me its possible for me to resubmit work? bit late isnt it?

Jemmy i dont understand, why was he holding the classes?

IronWolf

No not re-submit work (I'm assuming you're referring to assignments?), just that it might be worth getting in contact with your lecturers about the repeat exams.

Yes it is possible to appeal. I just rang them up and asked for the forms. They suggested I talk to the head first. It costs 30euro per subject!

Edit: I am appealing for my end of degree exams, I don't know if you are trying to do the same but it is possible to appeal your final exams anyway!
