Appealing the grade given for degree help!!

[Pippa000]

Ok I shall try and explain best I can with what dd has told me.
She was given her results for her degree today, she got a 2:2. It was 2 marks off a 2:1. She is very upset and frustrated at the same time, as the breakdown of her result were what she feared, the group module (made up large % of final mark) work was the let down, scored 43 . She said the rest of her modules and dissatation were in the 60's.
Her frustration lies with the group work which she knew from start that the group she was put in would hinder her marks as they consisted of 4 overseas students who's English wasn't up scratch, she does a politics course, dd was the only uk student in her group. There was only so much DD could do to try and correct things plus the guys in her group had lazy work ethics it was hard for her to get them in a group to work together on the project.
At the time she complained about this problem several times to her tutor, it fell on deaf ears he wouldn't at all budge on scoring the work on individual merits rather than as a group.
Now that her results are out she is in bits that she has worked so hard, scored consistently well on all the other modules and the group one has scuppered her results and not reflective of her work. She feels shes wasted 3 years of her life because of been put in a crap group. She rung the univesity up, they said theres nothing she can do as she has passed and it has already been classified.
I didn't go to uni so haven't a clue. Does she have any grounds of appealing, I feel for her as it does seem unfair, since she has been to see her tutor several times about the project to raise her concerns. Any advice welcomed
Thanks you, for reading this so far if you have managed to do so.

Yes, she must go to the police. I know it will seem like the last thing she wants now. But if someone had randomly hit her on the street, she'd report it. Not doing so for this guy then makes it seem like she feels bad about doing so, and she has nothing to feel bad about. Report the assault to the police, put the application in for a procedural irregularity to be considered, and wait for things to take their course.

Please photograph the injury - this could be vital . The student has gone too far and the police MUST be involved .

Go to the university with the assault and the FB message. If he has acted in such a way to hinder her progress they may do something as all fees have now been paid.

No one likes to admit it but university has become an industry and foreign students were given a far easier ride than home students by my department. The lack of proper funding has forced the universities to do this.

Sorry to hear that was your experience Want; its absolutely not true for any department I've had dealings with that 'foreign' (I assume you mean non-EU) students got an easier ride. I'd hate the OP or anyone else think that was normal because it's really not.

OP, as others had said it's important to get this all on record. I hope your DD is feeling better now - what a grim few days she's had.

It's an absolutely extraordinary situation OP; a bizarre set of coincidences. Also, why are the students still all up at uni? It's very late for students still to be there in July. Just curious. Certainly your DH must go straight to the local police before he leaves town unless he's already arrived, collected and left. If he's not gone to the police there and he's on his way back, he really must take her straight to the police in your home town - regardless of what your DD says. It's so unusual for a serious and sudden unprovoked assault such as this that the student needs to be taken into custody asap. I doubt it will make any difference to the grade, since it's entirely separate, but the situation has gone beyond that really, with the assault - it's that which needs attention now, not the classification.

Molio I was thinking the same...
