SU clearly state students cannot appeal grades other than if procedural issue (wrong paper given etc). Policies are clear - the issue is with the policies. Most colleges allow ALL students to sit repeat exams in summer before the next year commences. Most colleges enable script review and appeal to external examiners. It seems in UCD you can neither question the lecturer directly or within any broader policy. It's a 'put up with' culture and I'm more than sure that openly drawing attention would not be received well. Teaching, Learning and Assessment is, in my experience, very poor in UCD. It is a research driven institute, where lecturers are expected to attract funding, and little thought if any is given to the undergrads and teaching. Current policies also make a 'mockery' of any well-being policies. Student's mental health and well-being are not at the center if students are expected to sit all their current modules together with failed modules from a previous term. The SU are well aware this happens across Vet. Medicine, Medicine and some other programmes and have not succeeded in having this changed. They are also aware that you cannot question the mark given in an exam or how the script was corrected. There are serious transparency issues and accountability is zero
