Thank you!

I failed my RAP particularly RR. After reading my letter and realising my grades are capped at C. Would I be accepted into post graduate school with C grade degree? @trephena

@trephena I failed my RAP on RR with the following comments;

2. Application of accountancy/business models Fail
Reasons for fail and advice for improvement:
You have not provided a tally sheet of all the responses from each respondent and consequently much of your analysis is not supported by
evidence. For example, you quote Kovach ‘As employees get older, interesting work becomes more of a motivator. …’This can be seen from
the results of questionnaire. This indicates that older employees stayed in their jobs longer because they found it more motivating’. There is
no evidence in the survey responses to support your statement. You use the word ‘average’ several times in your project but this term does
not describe the situation. For example, on page 13 you write ‘the exact level of motivation amongst MPT cannot be expressed in absolute
terms. However, it is safe to say that most employees are motivated above average’. On page 18 you write ‘MPT had an average tenure
therefore indicating average level of motivation’. These two statements can not both be correct. There is no evidence to support your analysis
of either and both statements. The process of constructing a Research Report must be logical, rational and scientific. You should not read
things into your findings which are not there.

3. Evaluation of information, analysis and conclusions

Reasons for fail and advice for improvement:
Your conclusion would appear to be more appropriate in your Skills and Learning Statement. Your recommendations do not stem from the
application of theory/concepts and your findings. For example, on supervision, 100% did not disagree with the statement ‘My supervisor is
very professional and supportive’ but you write ‘Some supervisors have an autocratic style of supervision and this style of leadership does
not inspire motivation especially in a service industry like MPT. I therefore recommend that these supervisors be sponsored for professional
development courses.’ Similarly on remuneration you recommend an increase to industry averages partly to ‘retain talented employees’, but
staff turnover in the last year was 0%. Please check your work for inconsistencies. You must relate your findings to the theories more:
compare and contrast what you have found to the theories that you have selected.

4. Presentation of project findings Fail
Reasons for fail and advice for improvement:
On page 12 you identify the ‘Key Factors’ driving employee motivation in Mukuba Pension Trust, and on pages 13 and 14 you give the
‘Results of the Research’. These precede the ‘Questionnaire Findings’ on pages 16-27. The process of constructing a Research Report must
be logical, rational and scientific: this means that your results should come after your findings.

7. Information Technology Fail
Reasons for fail and advice for improvement:
You have not provided sufficient evidence of having used a spreadsheet in preparing the project report. You should produce a tally sheet of
the responses of each individual to the questions asked in a spreadsheet. You can use the formula functions to produce tables, and its
chart/graph functions to produce diagrams etc to illustrate your results. Please see the Information Pack p.56 “You MUST upload your Excel
spreadsheet file (.xlsx or .xls) as an appendix. The spreadsheet MUST demonstrate use of appropriate formulae. (Screenshots or PDF files
of a spreadsheet are NOT acceptable.

Please advise if I need to redo the entire RR.

Thanks.
