I am wondering if anyone has any experience?
My dissertation went off sick just before submission but was happy with my work and had a lot of input into what I included.
My newly appointed tutor read over my final copy and gave me positive feedback, said she enjoyed reading it and gave me some tips for 'extra marks' but over all was happy.
Yesterday o got my grade back and it is exceptionally low with a mark of 45.
I am absolutely shocked and devastated. Some of the comments are inaccurate, asking why I haven't included dates ( that are clearly there) and asking who someone is when in the previous paragraph I have introduced the author and explained his role.
There are comments questioning why I have included information that was suggested by my first tutor and praised but my new tutor just before submission?
There are also the last 17 pages that have no comments at all, not even a tick to show they have been read?
Do I have grounds for an appeal for it to be remarked?
There is no name attached to say who first marked it but it states it has been moderated but my new tutor.
Surely it is her role to ensure the comments are fair ( how can they be if she though to was ok?)
If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful, I was on target for a 2:1 and this has pulled my mark down massively
