Hello All,
Is the person permitted to have a look at the piece of work of others, in case he/she gets failed in the SLS/RR, for getting an idea of his/her own work to establish that where he/she perpetrated a mistake or to build comparison of his/her own work with the work of others?
The exact remarks of the marker are given below regarding the failed SLS.
“The purpose of this statement is to demonstrate reflection, identifying your strengths and weaknesses, reflecting on how you overcame those weaknesses. Your answer to question 1 was more of a description of the process than any reflection. You begin answering question 2 by talking about your main research objective which is a personal goal rather than a research objective”
The marker highlighted only Question no. 1 and 2 in the feedback sheet in which issues exist. Do I need to re-write only Question 1 and 2 or I will have to redraft the entire SLS?
Dear All,
I was failed in the “self-reflection” aspect of SLS as the marker remarked regarding my SLS that sufficient weaknesses and the ways of combating them were missing in it. Contradicting to it, numerous weaknesses and methods of eliminating them using my strengths were adequately articulated in the SLS.
The second comment of the marker regarding the SLS relates to the discussion of personal goal in the SLS instead of RAP objective, however, nothing like that was brought into discussion in the entire SLS.
Now, I want to know that if I resubmit the SLS then what level of weaknesses and methods of overcoming them need to be stated in it as I referred SLS exemplars given on the OBU website and the weaknesses and strengths I articulated in it are way more than the weaknesses specified in the SLS exemplars. Moreover, how the way I can convince marker this time that I utterly focused on RAP objective and financial and non-financial aspects of the company “Glencore” cannot be my personal objective in any way.
Kindly help me out in this regard.
@gillianm – OBU Registered Mentor,
I am extremely grateful to you for helping me with the matter.
Dear All,
I appealed OBU a week ago to reconsider my SLS as I was awarded fail in the SLS by the university and tonight I received an email of the Appeal Officer in which it was stated that the assessment criteria was applied correctly, however, I am still eligible to appeal OBU formally for second review of SLS.
The comments of the marker regarding my SLS in the feedback sheet were,
“The purpose of this statement is to demonstrate reflection, identifying your strengths and weaknesses, reflecting on how you overcame those weaknesses. Your answer to question 1 was more of a description of the process than any reflection. You begin answering question 2 by talking about your main research objective which is a personal goal rather
than a research objective.”On the contrary, all weaknesses and ways of using my strengths were already embodied in the SLS. Moreover, there wasn’t any discussion of personal goal in the SLS and merely financial aspects of topic 8 were accounted for. I quoted almost 20 weaknesses in the appeal email together with my strengths for overcoming them, however, still the appeal officer says that
“I understand that you are unhappy with your RAP result. Please be assured that this has been thoroughly considered by your marker and has been verified by the University’s moderation process, and I have also reviewed the work on your request. I find that the feedback was appropriate, and designed to assist you to re-submit successfully.
For your re-submission, I would advise you to think about how, for instance, you might do things differently on another occasion, the strengths you identified, and how they helped you, your weaknesses, and how you overcame them. Also, how you felt about working on the RAP and working with your mentor; did you have any problems you didn’t expect?”
Kindly advise me that under which criteria I can appeal OBU for awarding me pass in the SLS? Moreover, I referred the SLS exemplars given on the OBU website for drafting my SLS and the weaknesses coupled with the ways of overcoming those weaknesses were far more than the weaknesses entailed in the SLS exemplars.
I really wonder that what kind of weaknesses the marker wanted me to incorporate in my SLS when already bulk of weaknesses, way more than the weaknesses and strengths given in the SLS exemplars, related to the point of time when my work wasn’t reviewed by the mentor are self-evident in the SLS and the way I overcame them with the suggestions of mentor were already present in it. Obtrusively, there was no space to discuss my personal weaknesses and all weaknesses I discussed were solely related to RAP.
Kindly guide me.

Kindly help me with making my appeal successful.
I received my BSc hons feedback sheet on 25 May 2019 in which I was declared fail in self reflection aspect of SLS. The marker’s comments in this regard are
“The purpose of this statement is to demonstrate reflection, identifying your strengths and weaknesses, reflecting on how you overcame those weaknesses. Your answer to question 1 was more of a description of the process than any reflection. You begin answering question 2 by talking about your main research objective which is a personal goal rather than a research objective”.I sent an appeal email to OBU with regard to it on 2-06-19 and I haven’t got any response from them yet as several weaknesses and strengths were clearly mentioned in the SLS together with the discussion of financial and non-financial elements of the company, however, I haven’t received response email from OBU yet.
How long does OBU take to respond to appeal email for second review? Moreover, should I send follow-up email to them or I should wait for a few more days instead?
