Abstract

Students experience many ups and downs while at university. Successes are exciting and energising, however finding a way to deal with failures can be a challenge. Failing is a common student experience that, with the right approach, can become a pathway to future triumphs. This chapter aims to help students understand an experience of failing assessment and plan for positive change.
