how much is my dissertation going to affect my grade its worth 80 out of 160 credits

for this year I got a first. I think for the other modules I will also get first/seconds so if I do bad on my dissertation how badly will it affect my grade?
I am worried as my supervisor is really bad and I am not getting much support

Your uni should state the weightings and way your mark can be assessed. Not sure if it is for all unis, but there are 3 different ways we can be graded, with different weightings on 2nd/3rd year, making the disso more and less important. I got two 1sts last year, meaning if I want to get a first this year, I will have to get a 1st in my disso. However, if you have already got a first overall last year, you won't need as many other credits to be a 1st overall, however most people try and get a 1st in their dissertation because this is a big block of credits, double the amount of the other ones. Could you try and change dissertation supervisors? There should be a few you could change to if they are able to help and take on another, or try asking for more support in a polite way to your supervisor?
