Is it possible to pass by compensation in a required module if one of the components is a high mark but the other is just 4 percent below the threshold? Is it worth discussing this with the Proff , especially if there were extenuating circumstances?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply
*I'm just wondering if its worth speaking with the head of the English department at my university to plead for a chance to pass by compensation?
My situation is , I struggled in the first semester due to a lot of things, mainly some intense and exceptional family problems.
I found ways to deal with this and absolutely nailed the next semester. However., I am about to fail a module. One of the reason for this is that I misunderstood what was required
In this module. I had failed the exam. I got 31 percent and I didn’t submit the Ca
I repeated the CA recently and I'm sure I will do well. However I was unaware that I needed to resit the exam also . One of the reasons for this is that the module descriptor says "In order to pass or pass by compensation a minimum of 35% must be achieved in combined CA AND in Exam."
I took this to mean that I must take both the Ca and Exam and receive a combined mark of 35 in both together. Combined
But apparently it doesn’t. I was further confused as most of the other English nodules say "In order to pass or pass by compensation all components of assessment must be attempted" . I took both of these statements to mean the same thing but just with different wording due to administration choices or something similar
The rest of my grades are exceptional and having to repeat a module would be disastrous for me. I am first gen, very working class and incredibly under resourced
My question is , is there any hope that I could speak with the department head directly and ask him to allow me to pass by compensation. I have met him before and he was very reasonable and I got on well with him.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply. I appreciate it
