    Would it be better to register this module before PEER assessment in ESPM is introduced?

    EPSM is supposed to support you – if you read the relevant page (link as above) you can surely decide whether the new module is likely to be of additional benefit to you.

    Hi!
    I submitted my assessment. The display tells me
    “In order to progress, you must review 5 other assessments submitted by your peers. To do this return to the ‘My Progress’ on the dashboard and follow the instructions”
    But I can’t seem to find these instructions.
    How do I move forward?
    Thank you for your time!

    If not answered by pdf you can download at “Further guidance on preparing a presentation and peer reviewing others work” from this page https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/student/ethics/peer-assessment-within-epsm.html I suggest you contact ACCA directly https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us

    Or wait for another student answer – I do not have access to the module in myacca.

    Thank you for getting back to me, promptly!
    I believe I should wait till 5 students review it.

    Hi! I have completed the unit 8, however there is a last section ‘9. How did you do?’ which seems to be locked. The last two units are also locked/unavailable.
    What do I do?
    Thank you so much for your time.

    @shaaliha – according to the EPSM syllabus (available here https://www.accaglobal.com/lk/en/affiliates/completing-your-epsm.html), “How did you do” is a results section. As a tutor I don’t have access to the case study or PEER assessment elements.

    If you have done all the obvious things – refresh/clear cookies/cache, etc I suggest you contact ACCA directly https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us

    I am sure it would be helpful to your fellow students if you post how these issues are resolved.

    Hi,
    Im encountering the same issue in Unit 8. Its been more than 2 weeks now since my submission of presentation slides.
    I was assigned 5 peer presentations to review after one week. However my presentation has not been reviewed by peers yet. Hence I am unable to progress with the remaining units and the system is locked.
    Also, ACCA EPSM guidance PDF states that the system will automatically unlock within 24 hours if no peer reviews available.
    I have contacted ACCA several times regarding this, but no solution given yet.
    Appreciate if you could let me know how you resolved this issue ?

    Hey @Shehaan
    The ethics module page is currently undergoing an essential maintenance. I’m sure soon all these issues will be sorted.
    I think we had to wait for a long time to get feedback on the assessment was since not many are doing the module with peer review at the moment. I know that the guidance pdf did say that, but I had to wait till 5 other students reviewed my ppt.
    If you check the other forums you’ll find more students with these problems.
    Let’s not panic, I’m sure this will resolve eventually. 🙂

    I suggest you wait as there may not be a lot of students read to submit this so soon after results – if nothing after a couple of days please contact ACCA directly https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/footer-toolbar/contact-us.html

    And do please keep this forum informed how you get on.

    As much as I understand the reason for the introduction of the peer review ACCA seems to have not thought it through because I have submitted my peer assessment but I have not been allocated any therefore can’t complete the 5 assessments. Right now the case is that you can’t progress without having them reviewed so we have to wait for someone else to complete the EPSM so that they will be able to review ours and we have to review their one. This is a waste of time from all parties because we have to wait and rely on 5 other people to do the assessment at the same time we have done it. Quite absurd to say the least
