Re-assessment

Re-assessment takes place when the summative assessment has not been completed by the original deadline, and the student has been allowed to refer or defer it to a later date (this only happens following certain criteria and is always subject to exam board approval). For obvious reasons, re-assessments cannot be the same as the original assessment and so these alternatives are set. In cases where the form of assessment is the same, the content will nevertheless be different.

It is not possible to re-assess the essay proposal. If you fail this module and it cannot be condoned, you will be given the opportunity to re-submit the essay in the August / September re-assessment period. If you are deferred, you will submit the essay for the first time in the August / September re-assessment period. Re-assessment of the essay will constitute 100% of the module mark (15 credits).
