Explanation of resit terms

There are 3 kinds of resits:

• Supplementary - these are done during the summer and use the 'supplementary assessment' guidelines from the module descriptions - see www.aber.ac.uk/modules
• Internal - these are done during the academic year while resitting as a Full Time or Part Time 'normal' student. You attend lectures etc. and do the same assessments as other students.
• External - these are done during the academic year (assignments and exams) only, either truly 'external' (i.e. you can be anywhere) or if you failed the modules in your second year, while you are completing year 3 in Aberystwyth or on your industrial year.

Note, you cannot move to Part 2 until you have passed Year 1 or to the next year in Part 2 until you are in a position to get a degree

Internal resit students retaking the whole or part of the year participate in the course in the normal way.

So the rest of this page is for supplementary (summer) and external resit students AND year 3 students resitting one or two year 2 modules.

Materials

Course Notes on the web

• You may need to look at the previous year's notes. See http://csinter.dcs.aber.ac.uk/undergraduates/module-information/2016-05-24-10-27-34 and pick the right year.

Accessing Blackboard - be sure to click on the right year tab!

• Most course materials for Computer Science are on Blackboard. If the module you failed was one of these courses then access Blackboard in the normal way.

Examinations

• Supplementary students resit the examinations they failed in August. The time period for summer examinations is given out earlier than the individual examination dates.
  You must keep the whole period free. You also must resit failed assignments.
• External resit students' exams are on the exam timetable for the semester the module is offered. They may have special examination papers if the content of the module has changed significantly, or if the module is no longer available. So students should check the examination seating arrangements carefully. These students must resit both examination and the new assignments.

Assignment Submission - click on the right year tab if submitting/viewing via Blackboard

• Supplementary students should find their assignments on Blackboard

  Please be sensible - if you know there should be an assignment and don't find it get in touch.
  Make sure you have the right year for Blackboard and submit as instructed

• External students will normally find their assignments on Blackboard or the module page on CourseNotes. We suggest that you contact the module coordinator if you have any questions.
• If you are asked to use email instead of Blackboard to submit then send your assignment to the lecturer and also This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (unless told otherwise in the instructions).
• A reply email will be sent acknowledging receipt. If you do not receive an acknowledgment within two days please contact the Department to ensure that your assignment has been received.
