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.

  • Monika,

    You’re doing 5DVP right? For that part of the assessment (CPD), you need to firstly conduct a self-assessment of HR professional practice capabilities and identify your own professional development needs. There are many ways to do this, e.g. a SWOT analysis, but most commonly students use the Self Assessment feature of my CDPmap tool (this is on the CIPD website - search it). Take the assessment as a student working in HR as a technician. I remember choosing an area that I haven’t had much exposure to in my HR roles (Reward). Based on the results of this assessment (answers to the questions they ask), use it to design your own PDP and the objectives you want to achieve. For example, I may have said something along the lines of ‘over the next year I will spend time shadowing the reward manager.’ That’s the brief version - obviously beef it up.
