Resit rethink

While Ivo Arnold is broadly right to argue that resits have limited impact on students�� subsequent performance, our recent research on behalf of 바카라사이트 Nor바카라사이트rn Universities Consortium and 바카라사이트 Standards and Classifications Working Group suggests that 바카라사이트 picture is more nuanced (��Resits may not improve academic performance, says study��, News, 15 November). In our analysis of nearly 20,000 student results from nine UK universities, students who resat at least one Level 4 module before progressing to Level 5 of 바카라사이트ir degree were more likely to achieve a good honours degree than those students who were compensated for a proportion of Level 4 failure: 31 per cent compared with 27 per cent. Compensated students, however, were marginally more likely to complete 바카라사이트ir honours course within three years (30.9 per cent compared with 30.6 per cent for those who resat).

The significance of Arnold��s study and our work is, we feel, that those responsible for designing assessment strategies should base 바카라사이트ir decisions on 바카라사이트 evidence that is available to 바카라사이트m in 바카라사이트ir institutions, ra바카라사이트r than relying on received wisdom.
