Change the TLAN assignment deadline to incorporate the 'no detriment' policy
Change the date for the TLAN assignment so that the no detriment policy applies and the grade will not count towards our final degree.
Why is this important?
The no detriment policy has been implemented because of the pandemic and yet it will not apply to this assignment, despite the fact that we are studying a third year module in our second year and trying to learn through an online platform.
The TLAN sessions include a lot less time than we would have had in 'normal circumstances.' They lack structure and do not provide enough support to fully understand the units and therefore the content required for the assignment.
By setting the deadline for the assignment a day after the policy ends, UWE is not supporting it's students to attain the highest grade they are capable of achieving, ironic for a module about teaching and learning.
Sign this petition if you feel that the grade for this assignment should not be counted towards your final degree, which can only happen by changing the deadline so it is within the no detriment policy.
