@GillianM – Thank you, Gillian.
Of course, I am very pleased I did not fail, but I would definitely have requested the expertise an Open tuition approved mentor had I needed to resubmit.
You have hit the nail on the head. There are adequate mentors, then there are great mentors.
Congratulations to everyone that has passed in Period 37!
These posts are a pleasure to read and I really wish I had the same enthusiasm towards my mentor experience. My mentor was not part of the open tuition or Learning Luminarium, but I wish I had gone down that route. I do not feel I had the same mentor experience as what you are all describing. Yes, I did receive what was required in terms of meetings etc. but I do feel like I was a number, and not really of any importance. Even when I emailed to advise I had passed the response was, ‘Thanks for letting me know’, – a little deflating!
I have always checked through these forums through my previous ACCA studies but just did not think to come here for OBU mentoring and guidance until after I had submitted my Period 37 project (actually not until just before the results were due).
I did pass the project, and I received a C grade, which I believe could have been a lot higher with a better mentor experience. Having said that, a C is all I needed to get the First Class, so I know I should not be disappointed, but I can’t help but wish I had one of you guys as my mentor.
