writes:I know this a relationship website, but does anybody know if at university you can re-do your projects? I am on a course which doesn't do exams, so luckily enough I just do a lot of practical projects over the course of the year. The thing is, this year I have really fallen behind! I found out I had depression within the first month of starting back and was dealing with that, i've been very ill and weak to complete projects to full standard and went through a really hard break-up. It's really annoyed me knowing that I haven't put as much effort into my projects as i could have!! I know i've passed, but I don't want to just pass when my aim was to leave uni with a 2:1 at lowest. I'm from a very strict family too, so anything lower isn't acceptable. And now i'm worried that because my grades are so low this year, that even if I do amazing next year that it wont make a difference. Is that the case?I mean, I know on my course in first year many people re-did their projects during the summer because they wanted better grades, or didn't pass those modules.. If it means staying another month on my own to complete them i'll happily do that, i'm just wondering if anyone knows whether this rule applies for second year? I'm just so incredibly scared my screw up this year will majourly effect my final degree grade?

Wasn't a problem at my uni. I even redid a few in my third year. Just make sure you don't get even more behind trying to polish up your past grades.
Talk to your professors about it, but I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed.
That said, here's a point to consider: I now have two degrees with terrific grades, and I have found that in the end, no-one really cares about that. What matters is that you've got the piece of paper. That's it. It's fine if you want to improve your grades for yourself, but don't do it for your parents or because you think it'll get you ahead in life. It won't, not really anyway. So don't worry about it too much and try to enjoy your time at uni.

 the best thing to do is talk to your academic advisor or your professor.
