    lads im just wondering what exactly credits do to your average grade. in my case i am going out on work placement in 2 weeks which is worth 15 credits. all my other modules up to this were 5 credits. so for my average i was used to e.g. if i got 70% in 1 module 60% in another and 50% in another my average for my modules that were worth 5 credits would leave me with a 60% for those modules. So basically i want to know what difference a module worth 15 credits does to the overall average. i hope that makes some sort of sense.

    heres a bit from the CIT website
    Credits
    Credits are awarded to learners who successfully complete the assessments in a module. A module will normally carry 5 credits. Each Semester is worth 30 credits and a full-time year of study is worth 60 credits. This is in line with an international system called the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
