Is there any point in appealing?

    I am really disillusioned with this college.

    I have been looking at the appeals form (http://www.dcu.ie/registry/forms/pdfs/r31.pdf) which basically makes it impossible for you to appeal. Don't get me started on the €100 charge!

    Myself and a number of peers received unusually low result from a certain lecturer who for the most part is shockingly incompetent.

    No feedback, delayed response from main lecturer, script may not be available for viewing in time for appeal etc etc.

    None of which are grounds for appeal apparently.

    The script should always be available for viewing before appeal. But of course DCU being the money grabbing cnuts they have always been they probably urge lecturers to not show scripts until an appeal fee has been paid. Don't get me started with incompetent lectures, the modules wasn't b2b marketing by any chance? If there is a few of you disillusioned with the results I'd say try and bring it up with the chair of ur course and then to the lecturer.

    Go ask them in person. Or call. You can usually convince them to hear you out, so you know if you have grounds before you pay.

    You have a right to see it in time for appeal. If the lecturer won't show it to you the ask the programme board chair, or worst case ask the Head of School.

    You're right, those are definitely not grounds for appeal, hate to say it but if it was an exam paper/lecturer issue you should have approached them after the exam, asked to view your scripts and go through the paper with them, take it to a higher authority in the school maybe, but the chance for that kind of stuff is up now. I appealed before on strong personal grounds and it was successful so the appeals process does serve a purpose but just not those kinds of things.
