APPEAL/SECOND REVIEW FOR ACCA OBU

can anybody tell me whether RR can be failed due to failed communication skills or is it SLS?

So, my hardwork is nothing, my analysis is nothing but that my slides are the deciding factor that makes me qualified for a failed project?

Any appeal will only be successful if there are definitely grounds for the appeal in the first place. In other words unfortunately you cannot appeal just because you disagree with the result. You must show that the marker was factually wrong e.g. they said that you had not included ratio analysis on profitability and you did.

There is no charge fir an appeal but most fail because they are not factually based but rely on opinion e.g. the marker has said the evaluation lacks depth but you think it does. This comes down to ‘academic opinion’ and is not permissible for an appeal.

All submissions will count as an attempt so if this was your third and final attempt or the 10 years has expired then this would be the last submission -only in very rare circumstances will it be extended -there is no mechanism to extend this regardless of any appeal.

Yes, you should follow this up as you should have been told what the key issues are by now. Send an email requesting them by return.

I haven’t received any comment from ACO yet, does that mean there is no querry to be made and i can expect positive outcome?

Kindly advise me related the process of appeal

Hi, i want to file appeal for the reviewing. I have received the feed back ” I have even discussed the matter with my mentor. He encouraged me to do so. I have sent the email but the response was not satisfactory.
Plz advise

You cannot just appeal because you failed i.e. that you disagree with academic judgement. It is necessary to show that the feedback / reasons for the fail are wrong such as the marker says you failed to include something when this was included.

You do not say what sections you failed. Fail in the Analysis and Evaluation is the hardest area to overturn. This section requires you to use the information you found and draw inferences and explain the significance of it. Very often students just describe the trends and calculate ratios without putting them into a relevant context and therefore although there night be basic analysis this does not reach the standard set out in the Assessment Criteria for a pass

Well done on passing the report, which is the most time consuming and difficult part of the RAP usually.

I don’t think that there are any real grounds for an appeal since although you are disappointed with the result, from the feedback I recognise a few common mistakes that students make with these elements which mean that the assessment criteria were likely to be unmet.

With the SLS there is often a tendency for students to describe what went on whereas the emphasis should be on considering the impact of what you did. My tip for Q1 is to look back and as the marker says, consider strengths and weaknesses, transferable skills plus any new skills acquired and any lessons learned. Q2 on the other hand projects forwards to consider opportunities and how your future may be affected.

With the Presentation slides they need to communicate effectively which means they need to be clear but not overladen with words. The ‘audience needs sufficient information and interesting slides (to hold their attention). Never make the audience have to read too much, instead use visuals graphs and charts where appropriate (interspace them i.e. don’t stack a load of graphs together) . You can usually distil info down into key points and bite-size bits and remember, you may not be able to include absolutely everything in your report into a 15 min presentation.
