Module grades were wrongly weighted...

Hi All,

I've completed my last module a couple of months ago (doing a distance learning top-up degree at a brick uni) and, in my opinion, the grade has been calculated wrongly.

The module handbook stated that three assignment marks are weighted 20%, 20% and 60% and, when I got my final grade, it seems that the first assignment was weighted 20% but the second and third assignment marks were added together and then weighted 80%, i.e. assignment 2 and 3 were carrying the same weight which is clearly not in line with the handbook.

In line with our uni regulations I have contacted my programme leader to make him aware of this and to find out if he can resolve this before officially appealing.
Heard nothing back and chased again after a couple of weeks as we're only able to appeal for 21 days (and I had planned to do this). Was told they'd look into it but heard nothing since.

Unfortunately, I then had to go abroad at very short notice as a close family member died and missed the deadline for an appeal.

Since, I have sent another couple of emails to the programme leader without any response. Also contacted the Student Union - no response either. Tried to call as well - no answer.

I'm really annoyed about this - it's been six weeks now since my first email and the least I would expect is an update on what's going on.

Apart from letting off steam
