3rd Year Computer Apps - Final Degree Grade

driveshark

Hi all,

Just looking for some info, can't find any information on the DCU website. Basically I'm wondering, if 3rd year in computer apps is worth 15% of my final degree grade, what happens if I fail a module in 3rd year and have to repeat? Am I capped at 40% regardless of what I get in the repeat for that module or is it the actual percentage I get in the repeat exam?

Also, if I fail any module's in 3rd year does it disallow me from gaining a first in final year? I know that's probably not the case at all, but again I'm not sure.

If there's any relevant information on the DCU website that any one has come across (I don't think there's much, its all very general) then by all means link it.

Thanks in advance,

Your capped at 40% in that module in the repeat. You can get 100% in the repeat but it only counts as 40%.

No, you can still get a first in final year. Even if you fail a module in final year you can still get a first overall. Again, that module is capped at 40%.

Referring to 10, seeming like it won't be capped at 40%?

What ten is saying is that when they are calculating the score for the module they use all the resit values. This will give you your overall score in the module. This score is then used to see if you pass or fail on attempt 2.

However, 40% will be used in calculating your average for the year in that module.
