@Trephena and @Ehsan.

Thank you guyz and now I can get my CPA Canada which was pending because of this.

And yea students should not be worried if they have not plagiarized or has some one to do their work. These ACOs are experienced enough to differentiate between a mistake and a deliberate copy-paste.

Cheers Mates!

Hi @trephena and @ehsan,

I have not received any email yet but I check at obusubmission website and my results have been released.

My RAP has been passed with a grade B andI have been awarded a BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting degree First Class Honours.

Big shout out to you guys. You have been really helpful in keeping me calm in this tough situation.

Thank you both the mods for all the guidance.

Big Cheer.

Hi @trephena,

It been almost 10 days and I have not received any mail for releasing my result. Does it normally takes this time or should I be contacting someone?

Thanks

[shay88]

@Trephena, Thanks for your post. It calmed me down.

I am definitely going to inform you what ever happens. Hopefully expecting an email by tomorrow.

[shay88]

@ehsan,

I was excited about a while ago but again after seeing your response, I m back to the same old grumpy feelings. Are you sure its a fail for poor referencing. I m not sure why is not she convinced if I have given her every draft I had plus the total was 13% from atleast 40 references. I dont think it should fall under poor referencing as mostly were referenced.

@trephena,

I forgot to mention my topic again. It was T18 and my company was Nestle

Hi @Trephena,

I have received the result with following letter.

——————————————————————————————————————–
The coursework you have submitted for assessment for the Research and Analysis Project was been referred to me for investigation because of concerns about its originality.

1. Your project was passed through Turnitin and a final overall match of 13% was identified.

Having closely examined the evidence available to me, I have concluded that the match may be due to poor academic practice rather than misconduct. I am not wholly satisfied with the evidence you presented and I have some concerns regarding the authorship of the work. I strongly advise you in future not to use material from a source. However, I am able to inform you that you have been exonerated and I will be advising the admin office to release your result.
———————————————————————————————————————-

I m not sure what does this poor academic practice mean and not wholly satisfied with the evidence. Secondly, would there be a change in grade or exonerated means I will get the result that was originally awarded?

Thanks.

Hi @ehsan and @trephena,

I m posting the update so far on my case.

I sent them all the drafts I had and the mentors communication and emailed them mentioning that my turnitin report shows that 5% plagiarism is for the footer only and if I remove the footer it will be less than 1%.

I got a reply back that I have done a survey and showed the results in Appendix but havent used discuss anything in RAP. she wanted me to explain that.

I have responded to her email as well and now waiting again and hoping for the best.

Thanks guys for all the support

[shay88]

@ehsan, Oo i know about that stuff but i dont wanto jeopardize my case. the last saved date is when I made the thesis in may. thats fine but the last saved by is different.

I have an option in my file to remove the last saved name from the details. Just to be sure I might remove them.

Never knew I had to work hard on this thing after putting all my efforts in making a good thesis

[shay88]

@ehsan, Thank you for your guidance. The more people I discuss with, the weirder the details get.

I saw in the file details that I saved, some times it shows my name and in some files it shows my cousins name and remaining files, it shows the name of the person I dont even know. Would that raise a flag?

[shay88]

@trephena, I need to ask one more thing. I am sending ACO the word files of drafts, does the word author that shows up in properties matters? Like the author name is not the name of the student?

Would that matters?

Its the weird thing that I have recently heard and was informed that this could be the issue that ACO might have?

Need your guidance here as well.

[shay88]

@trephena, Thanks. I will keep you posted with my case as well.

[shay88]

@trephena.. thank you. do you came across any student whose result was referred to ACO but after providing sufficient evidence, he passed?

[shay88]

@trephena,

Thank you for all your guidance.

So my course or action would be as follow:

1) Sending the mentors emails
2) Sending the different versions of RAP, SLS, Presentation, Reference and Appendices
3) Emailing them stating that I checked my submission on turnitin myself and the 5% match from other OBU student is only the header and footer in SLS and RAP.

I hope this suffice.

[shay88]

I have that. Infact i have them with mentors comments back and forth and the revisions i made. but would that be enough?

I do not have any plans on paper or articles notes.

@shay88 said:

I do plan to make all these stuff again which I used for the thesis but I m afraid I dont want them to see that I m trying too hard.

By this I meant, I know what plans i had, i just need to jot them down on paper and can send them but again its a made up thing which seems pretty useless to me.

The most i have is 5 to 6 emails and dissertation with mentors comments and then the revisions. Would that suffice?

And you also suggests that I should inform ACO that my plagiarism report has 5% thats all headers and footers. In the letter there is nothing else they are concerned about.

[shay88]

There major concern in the letter states that I have a 5% match with another student. If you want I can share the letter with you as well.

The only problem I m facing is its all too easy if I just point out that 5% match is just of header and footer in my report of turnitin. I am not sure what other reasons they think since its not mentioned.

Plus the details they asked for like drafts and articles notes, I dont have any since I just edited my word file again and again after the mentors comments. I do plan to make all these stuff again which I used for the thesis but I m afraid I dont want them to see that I m trying too hard.

Please advise as well.

I thank you for all your time and effort you are putting in to help me out.

[shay88]

@trephena, Thank you for your response.

I have my turnitin report, but is it advisable that I shall inform them too that in my turnitin report, the 5 % is only the header and footers that are matching. However still find attached details that are requested.

Is it advisable to inform them about my turnitin report?

Thanks

Hi @trephena,

I am sure 5% counts as an insignificant percent. While drafting a response, shall I mention that I have run SLS and RAP on turnitin and the plagiarism is only on the headings only?

Or Shall i just email them querying about if they will provide me the turnitin report?

Thanks

@Trephena, Looking for your some guidance please!

@Trephena

Hi, I have received the similar email stating that there is a 5% match with some other RAP but she didnot send me the turnitin report.

Shall I send an acknowledgment response for her email?

She is expecting drafts, emails from mentor and all

The drafts is in word format where I use to change on my RAPs and luckily saved some word files.

Shall I send them?

[shay88]

@Ehsan,

I hope this is the case but I remember switching off the repository option.

I will email them back tonight and can only hope for the best.

[shay88]

@Ehsan and @trephena, Thank you for your response.

I have checked with the main trunitin software. Its like there is only one turnitin software to check from.

If this is the case for holdup, should i be worried?

[shay88]

Hi @trephena,

I have received the introductory email stating that she has been assigned the case and she will contacting me.

I would like to know If and how shall I be replying to this email.

Thanks for your help.

[shay88]

Thanks for ur response. The only plagiarism I have in my SLS and RAP is mostly headings and SLS questions and some exact definitions which I wrote with the exact wordings but i referenced them every time.

What else could be the reason for the hold?

[shay88]

Hi @trephena, Need your help please.
