    Hello all, Noel here (MISU Vice President/Academic Officer in case you're wondering!)

    I just thought I would start this thread so students can throw out any academic queries they may want answered. It always seemed like a good idea on the UL forum (remember that place?! :))

    Anyway, if anybody has any academic queries, fire ahead and I will hopefully be able to answer them!

    Hi MISU VP. You need to contact reps@boards.ie if you want to post on behalf on the SU. Please do not post again until they have given you a Verified Rep Account.

    Presumably this thread can now be resurrected?

    MISU is always asked various questions about academia in Mary I so with the results getting closer if anybody has any academic queries, fire ahead and we'll hopefully be able to answer them!

    I've a question for the academic officer! Was any progress made on changing grade rechecks so that lecturers have to do more than add numbers together, or ensure that they wrote 'B1' correctly?

    Yes. We got that changed at the end of last year. It was a slow process as we had to change it through UL since we're academically linked.

    Lectureres are now meant to review the entire script and then regrade it, although it could be with the same grade.

    If a student is still not happy with this they can apply for a Grade Appeal, which sees the script going to the Head of Dept, who will then review it.

    Hey just a quick question! I was looking at the breakdown of my grades on the lan and I'm not happy with the grade I got for an assignment I did for IT. Is there anything that I can do to get it rechecked?

    Hi brid_m

    You can get your grade for the module re-checked. You can also view your script. The necessary forms can be found through the following link:
