Re-assessment notes
Four assessment components are required for this module. In all cases re-assessment will be the same as the original assessment. Where you have been referred/deferred for any form of component detailed above, you will have the opportunity to retake within 4 weeks from the date that feedback was provided, following additional supervision sessions as necessary with the agreement of the Module Convenor.
All assessment components must be passed. Failure in any of the components will lead to failure in the module. If you pass re-assessments taken following initial failure in the assessment, the overall module mark will be capped at 50%, except for the supervisor report which will not result in a module cap. If you fail re-assessments, you will be failed in the module and as a consequence you will be failed in the programme and your registration as a student at the University will be terminated.
