i've not been very well over the past month, and as a result, i've missed a bit of time of college. and due to this some of my practical work has suffered. I really really need to bring my grades up. my written work is fine, but my practical is lacking in many areas, purely due to the fact i've not been able to complete it as i would have like to if i had had more time. is there any way apart from doing my best to get my written work perfect, that i can get my grade up. sympathetic grading? i have got medical paperwork to back up my time off.
i can't retake this year, i'd have to re-do the course, as they have changed the syllabus and can't teach the old one after this year, so i would have to re-do 2 years not just 1.
and i need at least a DMM (ABB) to get into uni

Can you not go to a different college to re-take the year?
i am aiming at a uni with lower grades, i was aiming for a DDM (AAB)
There should be something in the system that allows for ill health, be it extra time to make up on some of the practical work, or slightly different marking.
Don't hold your breath though, really go for it on the written work. Apart from anything else, if your written work is of a higher standard than your practical, it adds to your case that the standard of your practical is lower than it should be because of your illness.
Some exam boards set once unit exam a few times within the year, so maybe you can resit the module in summer?
