about unit grade scheme

hi, im doin travel and tourism 2 year course and for a course i did last year i got a referred grade and i only just got told this and iv just started the second year of the course. i was wondering if i get merits and distinctions on the rest of the units that my overall grade would be a merit or is it counted as your lowest grade? also would it be too late to re-do the coursework which should have been givin on last year.

please reply asap

thanks in advance

Each unit completed is worth a set number of points. For internal units that's 2 points for a pass, 4 for a merit, 6 for a distinction. For external units that's 4 for a pass, 8 for a merit, 12 for a distinction.

In order to get an overal merit you need around 68-76 points. So if you took last years unit grades and then add them to what you aim to achieve this year you should get a rough idea of whether you could get the grade you want.

If that made any sense :s-smilie:
