I'm fairly lucky that my parents both work in academics, so they understand what grounds the appeal can be made on. Then whatever happens happens. <br/><br/>I had a lot of friends doing subjects with group work, it always baffled me how the marking worked. It was always hell when they were trying to get things together. http://www.cubed3.com/topic/62356I got a 2:1 and missed a first by like 2% and felt that I should of got a 1st in two of my honors this semester (fucking group work).I'm in a different boat. I started work before I got my degree and now my degree feels useless, I didn't even enjoy my course all that much (friends were brilliant) and it didn't feel like a 'uni' degree in the end and is almost irrelevant. <br/><br/>I would fight for that grade for grade if you can, but don't let it kill you. At the end of the day remember it's just a number, don't get too stressed out. <br/><br/>What type of job are you looking for in the end? You'll realise once you start work how little your degree matters. I would follow Ross Baron (Emap &#45; where I work) as he has tonnes of stuff that he puts up on a daily basis in the publishing industry. Follow me also and I'll pass your details around.<br/><br/>In all honesty, it's the 2.1 that separates out everyone grade wise, so don't be too worried, it's difficult enough to get a job &#45; which is what I would be focusing on now.
