Failed first assignment

Monika

So I've failed my first assignment (twice) which is really disheartening and I'm feeling like a complete failure. I'm feeling a little cheated as at the start of processing the assignments I was told I had 3 submissions, it then changed to 2 and now I can't redeem myself.

I'm also baffled with the layout of the learning outcomes compared to the Assessment Criteria. Initially we're presented with three activities but it's broken down 1.1,1.2,2.1,2.2,2.3 and I feel like there was no support prior to writing the essay as to how to detailed it were to be or just being steered in the right direction. My feedback was also processed twice as apparently there was an "error" uploading it but both feedback forms were half completed when sending it back which was just more confusing. 

Has anyone else been in this position and failed their first assignment? Feeling really anxious about this all.

  • Do you understand that the 1.1,1.2,2.1,2.2,2.3 etc apply to different parts of the standard? Each question will then tell you which parts of the standard apply to it from those. The advice I had when I did Level 5 was to look at how many parts of the standard apply to the assignment (so in this example there are 5 parts) and then try to split the length for each part fairly equally.
    So for example
    Q1 1.1, 1.2
    Q2. 1.1, 2.2
    Q.3 2.1, 2.2, 2.3
    Although there are 5 parts some of them need to be covered in more than one question. If we have 2000 words, there are now 7 'parts of standard' as some appear more than once.
    2000 divided by 7 = 285. So that's roughly how many words for each.
    Q 1 285 words on 1.1, 285 words on 1.2
    Q2 285 words on 1.1 (obviously different aspect to Q1), 285 words on 2.2
    Q3 285 words each on 2.1, 2.2, 2.3

    It helped me plan out the structure of my assignments and seemed to work for me.
