will accept the aegrotat award unless you write to your Director of Studies to say that you wish to be assessed.

A module comprises one or more assessment elements, each of which has a qualifying mark and each result usually contributes to the
overall module mark. Students who have not achieved the qualifying mark in each assessment element are deemed to have failed the
module and are referred for re-assessment in the failed element(s), even if the aggregate mark for the module is 40% or higher.
