WooHoo! Thanks!
I just wanted to double check, just to be 100% sure that I don't have to repeat anything!
Thankfully I don't have to.

Roll on the summer and 2nd year!

I got a "F" mark in one module based on not passing the CA and end of year exam. I've been doing some reading in the Marks & Standards section. It states in the Regulations pertaining to Assessment

Section 6.2.2 Where different components of assessment within a module (continuous assessment and final exam assessment) contribute to the final mark, there will be no requirement that a minimum mark be obtained in any one component.

Correct me if i'm wrong but the way i'm reading it is - if you receive a "F" grade you should still be allowed to repeat the exam even if you failed the CA part to get a higher mark to pass the year.

Yeah thats a bit confusing - would have thought it would make more sense to give you an R instead of an F unless of course there is some rule stating if you fail both CA and Exam then you have failed completely although if there is I have not seen it. I presume it states overall fail on your results?

Call Registry tomorrow

JemimaPD · 30-06-2011 08:26PM

Yeah it does.

I think its best to contact registry tomorrow

E@gle. · 30-06-2011 10:22PM

Anyone know how long it takes them to put up the repeats timetable?

Clondalphian · 30-06-2011 10:32PM

Anyone know can if you can be compensated on a repeat exam?

how do they calculate the overall mark?

I did 9 modules over 2 semesters. Is it as simple as adding all 9 marks and then divide by 9 to get an average or is it more complicated than that?

Multiply the grade in each module by the credit weight of that module, add them together and then divide by the total number of credits.

Cannot compensate repeat exam, as far as I know. Pretty sure it states it in the exam regulations thingy.

That gives me a huge figure

I've had plenty of Fs before, didn't stop me repeating the exam in August. :cool:

Yep spoke to registry, Have repeat to do in August the reason for F was to do with failing both CA and final exam. Was also advised to talk to Lecturer about repeats as failing CA is a disadvantage - emailed lecturer already just waiting for reply now

In the same boat, so does this mean that we just have to wait for the repeats registration form to go online/sent out or do we have to ring the registry?

Is there normally an email or something sent out when passlists are put up? Because I never heard anything about it but there's one up when I put in my course.

I am not a DCU student...so I may be incorrect.

But having read around, from past threads too it appears like an F is an out and out Fail. R is what is used when it's possible to pass if you re-sit an exam in August. F seems only to appear if you've not passed Continuous Assessment. I read it's University policy that students must pass both CA and the Exam (either directly or by compensation). It still might be possible to pass the module, but only if it's possible to re-sit the CA as well as the Exam, which is decided on a module by module basis.

I do hope I'm wrong on this, and would be delighted to be corrected by somebody in the know! I suppose the only way to be 100% sure is to call Registry tomorrow to confirm.

F was just for the individual module, you can repeat in august, lets not go freaking people out!

What use are passlists? In merit order, does that mean the order of how good the results were or what?

so you can spy on who passed or not or see how many people passed, yep merit order is in order of best to worst.

can someone please tell me how long it takes for them to post out the transcripts? I need to send away a copy of mine to PAC to prove that i got a 2.1 in my degree.

You can get the registry to write you a letter to indicate that you got a 2.1.

The lecturer for my thesis is on his holliers at the moment - how do I go about seeing my dissertation with the markers opinions on it?

Is that literally all it's for?! Does it have anything to do with the order in which you graduate or is that alphabetical? Or is there an award for the 1st? Seems a bit pointless . . . !

quick question about creeping on passlists; mine has only 25 "numbers", but the course is waaaay bigger than that. does this mean that everybody not there failed/has to repeat in Aug?

Yes - not on it then you have either failed something and do a re-sit/repeat year or possibly deferred an exam and will sit it in August.

Results Day ?
