Every single module ever, has students who get extensions. I've never had one. Ok, neuro exam alternative grade was released last week. I didn't get an extension, some were given three weeks (again I'm doing joint hons and it's the subject we are still waiting on that isn't releasing grades is the one that offers a week extension or August referral) the three week extension students got their grades back four days after those of us who didn't have an extra three weeks to work on them and I happen to know that the marker for neuro had only just come back from mat leave when this all kicked off.
So again, as many of us have shown, it was entirely possible to meet deadlines.
So staff had to work three weeks longer? Thousands of students had to complete bloody expensive degrees with minimal or no teaching. These grades can impact for life. The tutors already have their qualifications.
Life has been shit for most people recently. They bang on and on and on about attendance for lectures having a direct correlation with the higher classifications (yet correlation isn't causal so who knows?) So when we weren't able to be there for teaching did they implement full no detriment like MANY others did? No. We are still being held to a standard as though uni continued as normal.
We completed dissertations without anything close to the 15 hours contact time with supervisors which was what we were entitled to. We finished hastily rearranged assignments with nothing more than lecture slides. I personally learn better with a tutor explaining the slides as they go and me taking copious notes.
I get grades like 84 and 80 in those situations but because of our half arsed no detriment I've lost those regular first class grades and will not even be considered for an upgrade at 69% because most of level 6 modules did not pass the magic 70%
Because three of five were completed under lockdown.
I did access to get to uni and my access group was huge (30 of us when they prefer to keep it under 20 but hey, arses on seat is money) 90% of is got to, and stayed the uni course and went to many different institutions. Mine is the ONLY one who isn't using the full no detriment.
Yeah, I'm a bit pissed off. We ALL had a lot to deal with and now I'm hanging on one grade and it's the first we were ever told about the 15 day turnaround being dropped.
We are one of the last cohorts still waiting. And no, I don't think it's particularly fair
