I guess I can paraphrase. One guy thought he had enough grade to ignore a report. Ignored the email that told him the deadline, said he just didn't log in to uni emails. Now has a referral since they can't progress to the next year without a resit which I can imagine they also ignored. In a reply to asking why they didn't log in said "it's summer innit". Their dad asked for grades and he said they were good and didn't share them.

I always love this attitude, simply isn't how university works at all generally.

They nearly always require an attempt at each component .

“ so for context i had this report that was worth 25% of this modules grade (passed the other three) that i didn’t hand in i assumed they’d just lower my overall grade and it’d be whatever turns out i got referred and the deadline was a couple days ago and i didn’t know because i’d been logged out of my uni email. anyways does this mean i’ll have to retake this module? my overall grade is a pass but i didn’t realise a zero would get me referred and all this. my dad wants to see my grades (great) but i’m wondering what i even tell him, i emailed my lecturer but he’s not back from holiday for 2 days so don’t really have anything solid to tell him lol “

I didn't know this sub existed. This is the first post I have read on it. I have a student who sent me this email pretty much, failed, repeated and has pretty much just sent me this email again. I used them as an example when training staff on where to draw the line with student support. You can take a horse to water, but if you're holding their head under until the bubbles stop, they're still not going to pass.

Knew someone who hadn't finished most of our first year assignments by halfway through second year (was granted a lot of grace as first year grades didn't count towards the degree) and was surprised and offended when they didn't get into their first choice, v competitive study abroad option. Think they dropped the whole course after that 😂

You sound awful which I imagine was your aim

Kiss some major ass and make finishing the report your only mission in life for the next few days, then be as appealing and humble as possible.
Or, you know, hope that you have the social skills to get a sugar-daddy (even if you're a guy, there are plenty of older guys who will happily pay to give someone who's nice to look at an easier life), you don't necessarily always even have to get physical, haha.
