How do I work out my module grade?

You can find out your module results in the SRS Student Portal. Log in to the system and navigate to 'My Studies'. From there click 'View My Modules' and then 'View My Marks'.

Your overall module grade will consider all the items of assessment within that module. The items of assessment within each of your modules, and their % weightings, are published in each module guide. The % weighting of an assessment gives an indication as to its significance, and below are two examples of assessment patterns:

Example 1 - 2 hour exam (50%) and 2,000 word essay (50%)

Example 2 - Portfolio (100%)

Looking at example 1, it is possible that as you need to get a D- overall, if a fail grade is achieved in one item, you may still be able to pass the module overall provided you achieve a good pass grade on the other item.  However, if the fail grade is on a big piece of work, for example, a 70% assessed piece of work, then an overall pass grade might be quite difficult to achieve.  

You can find a really helpful calculation guide in Section 7: Results and Progression of the Student Handbook.

Please note that some programmes do have Supplementary Regulations which means that students must pass all items of assessments and modules cannot be passed on aggregate.
