Guideline for Writing OBU Resubmission Statement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After checking Oxford Brookes University student info page, ‘My Record & Results’<\/a> confirmed you didn’t make the 50% pass mark. But you still can inject new life into your ACCA aspirations with our proven guideline for writing OBU resubmission statement.<\/p>\n

Here’s to the 500-word appendix towards your BSc (Hons) Degree in Applied Accounting RAP<\/a> resubmission. In this article, I\u2019ll show you unique approaches to address the marker \/ moderator\u2019s feedback.<\/p>\n

Why Do Many Students Fail in ACCA-OBU Projects?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before you take a second shot at your project, go through the Research and Analysis Project Information Pack guidelines<\/a> on OBU website.<\/p>\n

The following 5 reasons contribute to many research project failures.<\/p>\n

Reason #1: Weak or Zero Referencing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Plagiarism is an academic offense<\/a>. Every submission goes through Turnitin<\/a> and other referencing checkers. Make sure your presentation acknowledges every source used in your research.<\/p>\n

The latest edition of Havard citation technique<\/a> is a great go-to when drafting a resubmission. You can also use other referencing techniques in your citation.<\/p>\n

Reason #2: Not Using Information Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your initial report couldn’t pass because there was no Excel Sheet. Yes, the marker wants to see those formulas you used in your work!<\/p>\n

Reason #3: You Didn’t Hit Word Count Target<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Markers expect an average<\/a> of 7,500 words from your research report. A Skills and Learning Statement should max at 2,000 words.<\/p>\n

If your submission is too wordy, it means you substitute fluff for content. Under-achieving the word count implies you\u2019ve not covered the topic exhaustively.<\/p>\n

Reason #4: Failure to Relate Research Theory and Analysis to the Project<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Primary research isn’t a mandatory requirement. However, a critical analysis needs to relate the theory to your research project whenever there’s original research.<\/p>\n

Moderators and markers alike frown on projects whose theory doesn’t identify key issues in the organization under study. Use theories to design research instruments such as questionnaires and interviews.<\/p>\n

Reason #5: Not Including Powerpoint Slides Fails You!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Presentation slides should capture the full extent of project findings. Failure to present them to your mentor<\/a> means your SLS face-plant at grading.<\/p>\n

Basic RAP & SLS Resubmission Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When preparing for the new project, you’re free to keep the original title or to choose among the 20 OBU-approved topics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pursuant to an Academic Conduct Officer’s investigation, they may instruct you to change both the title and the organization. In this case, any Research Report credits previously earned will NOT<\/strong> be carried forward.<\/p>\n

Students who have failed either of the RAP parts should check comments on the feedback forms. Please contact the ACCA team on acca@brookes.ac.uk<\/a> if your work was submitted prior to the P40.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mentor requirements differ depending on circumstances. If for example you passed the SLS<\/a>, you don’t have to meet your mentor again (unless you\u2019ve changed the project topic, in which case you\u2019ll have to enlist a registered mentor).<\/p>\n

A Practical Guide to Writing a Convincing Resubmission Statement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Important Note<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s nothing like a \u201cResubmission Statement Template\u201d in the world!<\/p>\n

Also, don’t copy-paste what your classmate writes in their resubmission.<\/p>\n

It’s wise to first ask yourself these four questions before you draft an OBU resubmission statement:<\/p>\n
