Di How much of this is down to a lack of knowledge on the part of the assessor of either the course or the campus? Is it possible for you to prime the assessor regarding issues which you can identify which the student might not have thought of and which the assessor would not know? This is where we have found that co-operation between the institution and the Access Centre is vital and have been lucky in having very responsive people to deal with. Would going back to the Access Centre with this information/suggestion bear fruit, perhaps - then they might add it to their recommendations and SAAS would presumably accept it. -- Eleanor Drummond Heriot-Watt University %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
