if ur sick and can't attend your exam but provide a medical certificate, what happens after that?

do they calculate your mark according to assessments or do u have to resit another time?

You will have to resit the exam

^a tougher exam.

Unless it's the kind of course with an informal examination, in which case you'll need to speak to the course corvenor.

Last semester I was ill for my exams and couldn't sit for two of them so I simply talked to the convenors, filled out the paper work for special consideration and I did the exams later on. It was weird that my two exams were rescheduled two weeks apart but other than that it was easy and I didn't find the exams any tougher or harder than I would of expected the actual exam to be. So you should be fine as long as you have a medical certificate.
Good luck!

what degree is this?

Social science or humanities related from memory

 

[clairegirl]

ahh okay if its social science and humanities.. it wouldn't be harder

but i know for business economics... the lecturer was like if u dont it the first time.. the supp exam is harder and also marked harder

 

[Supra]

ive heard that also. EFS generally punish those who are legitimitely ill, but "weed-out" the people who rort the system at the same time.

It's true, they ARE harder. I had to do the supplementary paper for maths, and it was a fair bit harder than the original one. I looked at the original and it was almost directly out of the tutorials, whereas they had some legitimately obscure questions for the supplementary one.

Having a chronic illness sucks balls.

I'm an idiot, maths is ICS, not EFS... just used to thinking EFS coz all my other subs are in the EFS department.

but my point about supplementary exams stands lol
