The second major reasons for failing the RAP is
Insufficient word count:
The approved word count for the Research Report is 7500 words and that of
the Skills and Learning Statements is 2000 words. They are meant to guide
students and it is strongly recommended that they are adhered to. If your
project is only 4000 words then you are surely going to FAIL the RAP. On
the other hand, if your project is 8500 words which is above the required
7500 words, then you shall FAIL the RAP. The same applies to your SLS.@Trephena, thanks for your input. I agree with you that Plagiarism is not minor but i used minor in the sense that students could easily avoid this kind of costly error. If only they make use of some plagiarism softwares to scan through their works before submission then they would not be caught up.
There are 5 major reasons why students fail the RAP. The number one major reason why student fail the RAP is PLAGIARISM.
Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own. This is a serious Academic offence that has led to the failure of many students. The markers and moderators of the RAP have a plagiarism software that filters through your project and identifies someone else’s work or ideas and if you do not properly acknowledge and reference them, then they will fail your project.
Rule number 1 to passing your RAP, Never, ever plagiarize!
