*** OBU Period 36 Results ***

Good luck to everyone

Does anyone know the average results obtained for this degree, i.e. the percentage of people who get 1st’s. fail etc.

its 12 am in uk.
i have been going on my obu portal again and again but when i login i don’t see any options to view my results. i see just my profile and supporting documents option
will they release it in the morning?

Result tab just appeared. I passed! All thanks to the Almighty 🙂

I passed, with a grade A and therefore 1st Class Honours.

Thank you @trephena for your wise counsel, and OT generally for the resources provided.

[It looks like Investopedia is ok after all].

Footnote from GillianM of absolute mentoring:

First well done you must be very pleased and proud 😀 as this is no mean feat! If you refer back to my original post on the Referencing thread I had said “So in many respects I would tell you not to worry unduly about this”. However generally, named sources are preferred and speaking as a former senior marker too much use of Wikipedia is definitely frowned upon!

How disappointing! There is an appeals system and you can most certainly try. (Details in the Info Pack). The only issue I can foresee is that normally a confirmation of the actual files submitted is produced and a studentt needs to check this.

However if you have proof the website crashed and didn’t get a confirmation and then you may be able to try. (However if the confirmation was produced but not checked then you are less likely to succeed). Good luck!

I would urge everyone to submit work early rather than last minute as it is less stressful and the site is less likely to crash. I also suggest that students check the confirmation, and where there is a problem of files missing notify acca@brookes.ac.uk immediately.

Do let us know how you get on.

Thank you Gillian.

Of course, I would never suggest the use of Wikipedia (or any other publicly editable source) as a reference.

I believe your main point, that there probably isn’t any need to reference common ratio formulae, is most pertinent. But if people feel the need to reference each one, Investopedia (edited by analysts and educators etc.), provides definitions of the main ratios which seem acceptable, at least in my experience, to OBU markers.

Comment by GillianM: Agreed! 🙂

Good morning and congratulations to all those passed,

I failed only in IT skills and marker commented that my project was very good well done, but I put the values in excel spreadsheet and didn’t use formula to calculate those values,
Isn’t it fairly minor reason alone to fail the whole project ?
This was my first and last chance before 10 years eligibility, I may try to get extension based on mitigating circumstances but in that case my grade will be restricted to C,
I have already emailed OBU awaiting their reply, Please advise what options do I have ?
Many thanks

well done
which topic did u choose ?

My commiserations omer761 – unfortunately the marker’s hands would have been tied on this one as the Assessment Criteria (Appendix 1) clearly state that the spreadsheet must show formulae and therefore it was a technical fail. I am very surprised you or your mentor did not spot this one though before you submitted. For extenuating/mitigating circumstances and an extension you normally need certified proof of personal illness or close family bereavement. Alternatively you could try student disputes if that is unsuccessful – see https://www.brookes.ac.uk/students/your-studies/student-disputes/

Good luck!
