I'm 2 modules away from a first, this is one of them. Single semester module, assessment worth 100% of grade and 15 CATS. I received my grade back today of 52%, usually I average around 70%. Portfolio assignment, 3000 words split into 4 parts, a movie critique, self reflection, blog post, and lit review. My module attendance is not great as I've been working full time since summer (retaking these 2 modules, part time SFW is about 2k every semester). For the self reflection (200 words) I had to talk about the class I attended, and used a similar topic through a post-colonial lens for my lit review (1000 words), however since I used the same topic in both, and seperate topics for my other parts. Due to using the same topic (Northern Ireland) twice I've been given just over 50% as I haven't met the requirements of an "analytical account of power and social change in the globalised world" - I'm struggling to see how a self reflection on how I engaged in class and a separate lit review on post-colonialism on the topic discussed IN class has led to such a low mark. I was also marked down for not including seperate reference lists for each section, and not including which lecture I am referencing in the section titles, despite this not being stated anywhere in the submission requirements. I was on track for a first before this, and not sure if it's worth challenging
