Hi
My daughter was born 16 weeks early in March resulting in multiple health conditions and she has only just got home and is on oxygen. Due to this, I didn't sit a lot of assignments and they where deffered due to a successful EC application.
I made the stupid mistake of assuming all the resit assignments where the same titles as the initial assignments. I thought this as I couldn't find anything on the portal to sujest otherwise and I assumed as my assignments where deffered with no academic penalty, then It was the original title I had to sit.
So I worked extremely hard for 7 solid days and submitted all my assignments, it was such a relief. I decided (after speaking with an academic advisor) that I would fail my least confident unit to retake alongside next years options as I didn't hold high hopes for the exam.
I passed all of my units, even though I did the wrong titles all the examiners marked me as if i had done the correct title. However, in one subject they gave me a mark of 0 as I had not done the correct title. I passed this exam at 60 and needed 20% from the assignment to get an overall pass and then a pass in the entire year. My assinment was of a high standard (assumed 65-70%) but due to it being the wrong title, it wasn't even marked and subsequently I've failed and must retake a year. This is an issue as my course is 4 years long and I always intended to take an extra year of student finance to take my teaching qualifications, but now if I have to resit the year I'm unsure if that's possible.
Do you think an appeal would be successful based on these grounds?
If it is will I retake the assignment with the new title or will it simply be remarked?
Do I let them know of my circumstances or do I just state that I did the incorrect assignment title?
