Hiya,
Just found out I failed the exam I did last month.
I always thought it was my choice whether I resit or not. I'm only in my first year and what I get doesn't really matter, plus I've done well in my other exam and coursework (2:1s)
Someones just sent me a message saying we have to resit, whether we want to or not, is this true?? I'll be quite pissed off if it is, max can get is 40 marks anyway, I got 37 so thats £40 for an extra 3 marks :mad: :mad:

Take care!
My personal supervisor has emailed me back this morning saying that my mark can be compensated (i don't understand what this means ) because I got over 35, so as long as I don't fail anymore this year I don't have to resit
I suspect what he means is that because you only just failed they will let you 'count' that module towards the total, and it will just bring your overall mark down, whereas if you had got under 35 the wouldn't count the module at all and it would be deemed a fail and you'd get no marks from it counted towards the end of the year.
But check this.
