Are reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? Not applicable for Honours courses

Reassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification. Where, exceptionally, reassessment on Honours courses is required to satisfy professional/accreditation requirements, only the overall course grade achieved at the first attempt will contribute to the Honours classification. For non -H onours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions for this course are described below.

At the end of April, students, professors and community participants created a buzz of excitement which filled the Andrew Stewart Cinema at University of Glasgow's Gilmorehill Halls.

Everyone was raring to see the final projects from the University of Glasgow and GMAC Film's Applied Film Dissertation in Community and Collaborative Practice, which participants have spent many months developing.

You might be wondering, 'what is the Applied Dissertation?'

Supported by the University of Glasgow's School of Culture & Creative Arts partnership project (scca partnerships), this unique course brings together students and community groups to make a film or social media campaign. Small groups of students collaborate with community organisations like Food Not Bombs, Dress for Success, and Active Life Club to co-create audio-visual works whose purpose is to generate awareness of a social issue or to build support for a specific cause. Practical application is underpinned by theories and contexts in socially engaged filmmaking, with students submitting a combination of visual and written works for their final dissertation.

When asked what their biggest take away from the screening was, attendees said:
"The real diversity and life in Glasgow, and the generosity of everyone involved." - Community Participant "Collaboration is key" - Student "What an exciting and creative partnership. Powerful storytelling - so impressive" - Audience Member
In its first year ever of running, students and community participants have attended workshops and worked collaboratively to piece together a vision for the project, before filming and editing the final pieces that were showcased on the big screen.

After six great films and a round of celebratory photographs the happiness was palpable! We rounded off the afternoon with a reception of drinks and cakes - the perfect way to end the experience. We'd like to extend a huge thank you to the University of Glasgow Team and Gilmorehill Halls for hosting the showcase.

If you're a community project or organisation that would like to get involved with the next round of the Applied Dissertation in Community and Collaborative Practice, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us: hello@gmacfilm.com

Breathing Space is a confidential listening service for people over 16 experiencing low mood, depression or anxiety. You don't have to give your name or any personal details unless you want to.

YoungMinds Crisis Messenger

This service provides free, confidential, 24/7 crisis support to young people across the UK by text message.

If you're experiencing a mental health crisis and need support, you can text "YM" to 85258. You'll be connected with a trained volunteer who will introduce themselves, and discuss your feelings over as many texts as needed to get you in a calm, safe place.

The volunteer might point to other services, so that you can continue to get longer term support.

UK mobile networks that support the texting service

Other networks can still use the service but you may be charged for each text you send and the texts may appear on any itemised billing.
