Unit 10 - Does this forum serve to create anxiety???

anniem

I have just had my assessors report on the first draft of my Unit 10 project and I have to say that I'm delighted with his feedback.

I have a couple of areas that I need to work on; grading the risk of the different types of fraud identified and showing some costings within the executive summary, but other than that it is practically complete.

The words 'excellent report' appeared - which I was thrilled to bits about. I'm 40 and can still get excited if someone sticks a shiny star on my hand!!!!!

I was in the position that the only thing I could do was a simulation and thought that this was simply the poorer option, but in reality I believe that you really can do so much more with a simulation, especially as you are not bandying your ideas around the office getting knock-backs from your colleagues. You can actually look at another business without being 'too involved' this gives you a better perspective.

I do wonder if the forums actually serve to scare you about Unit 10 more than is necessary? Having read so many anxious threads about Unit 10 I was terrified, consequently I put off doing it for much longer than I should have!

If you have a Unit 10 to do; a) don't be afraid to ask for a simulation and b) don't put it off, if you get it out of the way the anxiety cloud is lifted.

PS I'm still missing all the little smilies, sunbathing on deckchairs with smilie size cocktails and sunglasses on!

i know what you mean. i was dreading starting it, but once i got going and got excellent reports back i was really enthusiastic about carrying on.

i do think every work place has a problem that you deal with every day and can be improved upon, just how you go about it is the hard bit. but once you start......

i am hoping to finish mine in the next 2 weeks as i really need to start looking at DFS.

Well done you (insert thumbs up smily here if it worked )

I too was dreading this unit. I have to admit that i am quite enjoying it, but i do have a brilliant assessor who provides feedback the following day by email and we are working on each section.

It does make me wonder what i was worrying about !!

Hi Vicki

I'm glad you found this helpful. I've just been re-editing my report and I have to say I have enjoyed the challenge, especially as it wasn't as bad as anticipated.

Hopefully when your sim arrives you'll be feeling positive too. Post and tell us about your thoughts, lets try and lift the doom and gloom about Unit 10, because all it does is stress people out before they even know what they're doing.

Go for it girl! (Little place for a smilie here - please imagine one NOW!)

I am supposed to have my first draft in by the end of october and i just have no idea where to start i know what i want to base it upon but i just dont know how or where to start!!
I have read so many of these forum posts regarding it i think i am just stressing myself out more and leaving it hoping the fairies will come and complete it for me which obv in reality is not gonna happen arrghggghhhh!!

Does anyone got a good suggestion on where i should start please ??

Emma

what you need to do is look at your workplace and find something that happens every day and people moan as it does not happen correctly. this is your start.

who are you studying with? once you have your idea, your tutor will be able to help you from there.

the first part is the hardest, after that it will flow and you will wonder what the stress was all about.

Hope that Helps

Hi Emma

Tell us a bit about your idea - I'm sure you'll get some help and suggestions on here too!

Some of them may be completely daft, as there are one or two ' M A D P E O P L E ' lurking here; however on the whole most of us are just going with the flow and happy to be quite constructive and even (sometimes) positively useful!

Am getting a little ticked off with a woman in our class at college. I had booked ten mins with my tutor by email the week before class to discuss unit 10 and every week she manages to jump in and so thats why i booked the time but she did it again and i only ended up with 2 mins at end off lession as he had to go. i wouldnt mind so much but shes already completed her 4000 words. and if i hear her say one more time "o he loves my project" i swear am gonna scream. Also bearing in mind no one else has had any time with the tutor as she does it to everyone.

Ok sorry rant over.

Perhaps she's giving him more than projects?

Email him again and tell him what keeps happening to you, and can he please spend your allocated 10 minutes with you rather than the 'o he loves me/he loves my project queen bee'.

Unit 10 help

I have an idea on what i want to work on but how to begin. I want to deal with Debtors because i have seen where we have errored when it comes to our Debtors accounts. Now how do i begin to put this on paper for me to come up with results. At which angle do i begin to type my report. Do i have to start by explaining the double entry and later lay down the weakness of our Debtors accounts. Please some one help.

Have you tried the e-learning for unit ten it breaks it all down for you and helped me start to structure now on my way.
