Hello all, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
I am a third year student at NTU studying business management and marketing who just finished their course. For context of the situation, I failed one module in first year and retook it in second year, the module was made up of three parts: the exam (40% of module) which I got a Low 1st, participation (15% of module) which I got a low 3rd, and the presentation (45% of module) I missed and therefore got zero.
Overall for the module my grade was a high 3rd (which is above the low 3rd pass grade) but because I missed the presentation I failed the module the second time round and was allowed no more attempts. As a result of this i didn’t get the 20 credits and therefore have 340 credits out of 360 and my first year aggregate decision was proceed - limit of ordinary degree.
I am now extremely stressed about this as I have worked very hard for 3 years in hopes for a 1st or 2.1 honours degree and now I feel like I might not get that and get an ordinary degree becuase I missed a pretty pointless 10 minutes presentation about a business simulation game for a first year module which doesn’t even count towards my final grade.
My course leader and tutor have told me it is up to the exam board to decide whether to give me compensation and I am really worried.
As this was a first year module not counting for my final grade, and I showed I have good knowledge of the module with the low 1st in the exam as well as achieving a passable grade for the module and passed all other modules with good grades
Can anyone help me or give some advice as to how likely compensation is or am I waiting to be disappointed?
Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance
