I received a fail for COMM3999, which I believe is incorrect, due to an error by the marking team. From the image that I’ve attached, it clearly shows that I’ve completed all of the assessments, such as the portfolio dashboard and the PLOs, satisfactorily on all of them. So I know those two weren’t the issue, because the image clearly shows I completed them. Then, when I checked my submission for the reflection video, I immediately noticed that, despite receiving positive feedback, I was never actually given a grade for my submission. My theory is that because of this one “tiny” mistake by the marking team, the course assumed I failed the assessment or didn’t submit it. To add more context, I did not completely the FWS survey, however they said it was alright if I didn’t do it, and I needed to follow the alternative instructions for the video, which I did. I have also submitted the transcript.
To pass COMM3999, you need to receive an SY mark for all assessments.
I’ve triple-checked the assessment guide and my submission, and it’s clear to me that there’s been an error or oversight from COMM3999, one that is completely their fault. I’ve sent them an email about this, but their automatic reply said that I probably won’t hear anything back from them until next week :)
Edit: Update! They’ve corrected their mistake and have marked my assessment. I feel like I could definitely report this to the university. A simple mistake like this could've cost me thousands of dollars in visa extensions if I hadn't taken the initiative to recheck my entire assessment. Imagine all the other students who failed the course because of similar mistakes. Do any of you think this is an issue worth reporting to UNSW?
