Hiya, having a really bad time here Been away at friends house and when I got home i find out my module result.. Not my fault but i suspect im probably royally screwed on this :S Last term I took a module at uni where 30% of the total mark relied on a critical essay. The other 70% was from a written project Now I KNOW i handed in the critical essay with the project, but my teacher never recieved it. Although my mark for the project was a 2.1 i have gone down to a third because the absense of 30% of it. I only found this out when i got an overall mark of 44 which is a low pass and looked at the breakdown. I then of course emailed my teacher.. She then informed me that she never recieved the essay! I know i did the essay, I have a copy on the pc at uni. Is there anyway that it can be proved I wrote this essay before the deadline? I havent opened the file since I printed the essay. I will be going into uni tomorrow but having just found this out on the student data system im at my wits end lol. Anyone know where i stand on this? am i doomed to a miserable grade or do i have any rights on this one? very upset as u can imagine.. Thanks, Emma

So sorry to hear this Emma , I have tried contacting you via MSN but I'm guessing that you had fallen asleep with being upset and all. Here what I basically left on your message screen. :
"that essay , if you right click on the file and select property's you will see a created date , last modified date and a last accessed date. DO NOT open the file as it may alter the last modified date ... the last accessed date will change from doing the property's thing on it .... but if you do not open it then the modified date will remain as it was .... you need to show your teacher this ... and then let her open the file once she has seen the dates"
It's all I can think of , goodluck I hope you can get around this problem.
Daz

Hiya, sorry about last night, I left my pc on, I was pretty miffed so i went to bed. I have since phoned the uni and they are trying to sort something. Dont worry I wont open the file, I havent opened it since I printed the essay to hand in. They said I shudnt be penalised and something shud be sorted out... so fingers crossed something can be done about this cockup lol Emma
