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.

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).

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

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

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

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

Connavar

@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

Thanks for the reply Niall (and hey).

Skyrim

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

Second part is right - 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
