Hi,
I found some line in resubmission guide for period 33.

“From period 33 onwards, anonymous marking is being introduced to the
programme therefore please identify yourself in any documentation using
ONLY YOUR ACCA NUMBER and NOT YOUR NAME.”

Does this mean that I should remove my name from the RAP cover page and document name?

Dear OBU mentors,
I failed in my first attempt in P32 and I’m updating my RAP for resubmission on P33.
I have some questions to be clarified. Please give advice to me.

I choose T18, and here is my failed criteria and the marker’s feedback.

<Information gathering and referencing> -fail
Please include extracts of the financial statements in your appendices

<Information Technology> -fail
You fail in this section as you have not included a spreadsheet as required by the RAP guidelines. I would suggest that you take the financial information convert it into a spreadsheet and show the results and formulae used to calculate them.

———————————————————————————
It seems that I failed because I didn’t upload any excel spreadsheet and annual reports as appendices. So I’m trying to edit RAP based on marker’s feedback.

My question is:

1. Most of my RAP includes much more marketing related explanation rather than calculations and numbers. The only part that I used calculation is the increase/decrease of company’s financial performance during certain period of time. So I made tables and graphs in excel by extracting financial information from published annual reports. I calculated the results by using excel function so that the formulae can be appear like [@2015-@2013]/@2013. Am I correct in following the marker’s feedback which is given in IT part?

2. Can I rename the file of company’s annual reports like ‘my name_appendix 2,3,4..’ and upload as appendices?

3. How can I reference annual report for the tables and graphs made in excel? Can I just write ‘ Source: Appendix 2’ in one of any cells under the relevant table and graph?

4. In order to make my report up-to-date, I used additional annual report which is published in Feb 2016. Is it acceptable according to OBU’s 90 days rule?

5. I’m going to upload 2 annual reports (pdf files) which were downloaded from company’s website and each report has many pages around 60. Should I upload these in full and state relevant page number when I reference? Also, do I still need to reference annual report in reference list?

Sorry for leaving comment in wrong topic! I was seeking advice for this issue. but It seems that I was misguided by my mentor because I realised that the uploading excel spreadsheet is compulsory for all the topics….OMG
Those are the only marker’s feedback that I’ve got now. Can I prepare the excel spreadsheet only and upload same rap with no change? I passed all the elements except those two criteria. (i passed sls&ppt also)

-Hi, I failed my first attempt :(…….I have passed all 4 criteria of techinical and professional skills as well as 1 of the graduate skills which is ‘communication’.

I failed in IT skills and information gathering&reference criteria in graduation skills. The marker commented that “Please include extract of the financial statement in your appendices” as a feedback for info gathering&reference and also commented “You have not included a spreadsheet as required by the RAP guidelines. I would suggest that you take the financial information convert it into a spreadsheet and show the results and formulae used to calculate them” as the reason of failure in IT skills.

However I chose topic 18 which is marketing related and also I was guided by mentor that no appendices will be required to this kind of topic. Besides, I also provided sufficient tables and graphs in my analysis itself with full reference…..

Is it possible to appeal? If it is possible how can I appeal to obu? I’m seeking your kind advice. Thank you.
