Reassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification. For non Honours 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. 

The aims of this module are: to introduce the orthography, phonology and grammatical structure of Middle Welsh; to develop an awareness of the historical development of the Welsh language in its earliest written forms; to provide a reading knowledge of Middle Welsh; to introduce Middle Welsh prose.
