Peer Assessments problems

Hi! I have the same problem now, the first presentation was empty, the second file did not relate to the task in any way... I just do nothing with that but feel nervous that I can not progress because of this :(

If your issues are not answered by the "Further guidance on preparing a presentation and peer reviewing others work" (link) available on this page https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/student/ethics/peer-assessment-within-epsm.html, I suggest you contact ACCA directly https://www.accaglobal.com/hk/en/footer-toolbar/contact-us.html It seems sensible to me that if the slides are blank the answer is "no" on all the criteria of A, B and C and if they are not of Telford, the B is a "no" (as they cannot contain relevant points). I don't think you should worry that you have to necessarily "mark down" peer assessments when individuals cannot even "answer the question set".

Thank you for your reply. I was just confused that the answer was completely different than the question set and it made an impression that there is any technical error or complete misunderstanding from my side. I have written to ACCA directly and being waiting for the answer.

Your understanding is correct - it's just that as many of the posts to this forum show, not everyone reads instructions (!)

@miraijones - I have seen it before that students ask whether they should submit, for example, the SWOT analysis - and I tell them NO. Since peer assessment is only a feature of EPSM I don't think you can be sent the wrong files for review. Sounds as though someone has uploaded a ppt from the web - either by mistake or they thought it didn't matter what they submitted! I don't think you should waste any time on it - but grade it so it has to be resubmitted. It is clearly defeating the object of the exercise if a student does not even submit the requested task.

I'm having the same problem - I've peer reviewed 12 presentations now and over half have been completely unrelated to the assessment. Are there really that many people trying to sneak through without doing the task or is it a technical issue? I've also noticed that not one of the assessments out of the 12 I've seen have had notes in the notes section below the presentation slide (which is a requirement). Mine does, and I haven't passed twice because apparently mine has "no notes" either based on my feedback! Which makes me think do the notes not show when you download a ppt file from the portal? Seems bizarre that NO ONE has included notes... Very frustrating part of the module!!

@catherinemulcair I should be most grateful if you would please report this directly to ACCA for review/action - https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us - select "Ethics and Professional Skills Module" from the select topic menu. Specifically query whether there could be a technical reason why notes might not be seen by reviewers. I am sure other users of the forum would be grateful to know the response. I have tried in the past to make enquiries on behalf of students, but to follow up on technical issues, the relevant department needs to be able to look at specific account details, etc that I cannot provide.
