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.

  • The other criterion numbers you mentioned refer to the various parts of the assessment.

    1.1/1.2 = The Effective HR Professional. This is showing you understand what the CIPD Profession Map is and how it works.

    1.2 - Group dynamics and conflict resolution.

    2.1,2.2,2.3 - Project Management

    and 3.1,3.2,3,3 is CPD

    It’s probably about 3000 words in total. I have always struggled with word counts on assessments. I always go over (by a lot). I tend to write freely and at the end I spend time trimming it down. Hurts because I always feel what I have written is relevant and not waffle, but you really need to make good use of the word count limit. You may think you’re assessment sounds rubbish because you haven’t gone into detail, the none of the assessments will let you go into too much detail; it’s just not possible. Keep your writing brief, concise and too the point.
