    If you do not get a good mark in a Fetac assignment and you feel it as down to the Teacher not teaching the subject properly can you appeal and who do you appeal to

    Initially you could query it with your teacher, if you do not wish to do that and you have a class tutor, go to him/her, or the head of department.

    If a lot of people in the class are having problems you could go through the Class Rep and the Student Union.

    However, unless there is a significant number of people in the class with problems you are not likely to get very far with the argument that the teacher is not teaching properly. If most other people are ok then you would be better to go to the teacher and say that you had problems understanding what was required.

    If at the end of the course you feel your marks are not as good as the work you put in, then you can appeal to Fetac, you will be told how to do that in your centre. Fetac will be looking at your work, though, not at how it was taught.

    If you can round up a good number of people who are having problems you are more likely to be listened to on the 'poor teaching' issue.

    The method of appeal will depend on what system the FE centre you are in is using. You can appeal both the process and the result under the newer FETAC assessment procedures. Ask within the centre what is the method of appeal. o remember you are entitled to feedback on the assignment and that it may only be worth a small % of your overall mark.
