ICAS - Feedback on LearnPlus??

Jo Clark

Hello All

I know this has been asked before and I can't find the thread with the answer...

My tutor has just emailed me saying that feedback has been loaded but I can't find it on learnplus.

Can someone please tell me how to find it.

Thanks in advance.

I found it... just in case anyone else has the same problem you need to click on 'Step 4 - upload your document(s) for assessment'. You will then see your original submission and the feedback.

Off to read mine now... feeling slightly anxious as so close to completing this qualification! :blushing:

Stupid ICAS question

Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but: does the word count include the paragraph numbering for each section and the report contents numbering?

I cannot slash the word count from 5,000 words

The BPP case study on Bayou claims to have a word count of around 4,253, but if you include the paragraph numbering in the word count -- Yes, I really did manually count this! it bumps it up significantly and it clearly is very much in excess of 4,253.

Jo Clark

Yes, I think it does, well mine does. My word count includes everything from section 1 - Terms of Reference through to the end of my Section 8 - Cost Benefit Analysis.

I did not include the words from the cover sheet or contents page.

My report is not far off 5,000 so I would not worry too much. Upload your first draft when happy and see what feedback you receive. Your tutor may advise you to reduce the word count, move sections to appendices or may be happy to accept the report and word count as it stands. I remember reading somewhere that it is your tutor/assessors discretion regarding the word count.

If it's any help, I just had feedback on my first submission and was told there is a tolerance of 10% either way for the wordcount.

Jo Clark

I've finally uploaded my report, appendices and other documentation having completed the mapping document... so hopefully I will either be signed off as competent pending IV or have very few minor changes to make. Either way, I can enjoy a study free weekend :001_tt2:

My ICAS was 4700 words it didn't include any of my supporting documents like my fraud matrix and cost benefit analysis though.

How is budgeting going for you?

Hi Jo

Not finding Budgeting too bad as very much like costing with a bit extra. Got 6 hrs on Thursday. Wish I could say the same for FNST struggling with that one.

Checked my SOA and ICAS is showing as Competent! Extremely quick turnaround by my tutor and assessor. So now I just have to wait for MAAT to update :001_tongue:
