i would not recommend to anyone. try public institutions to avoid frustrations

from the 4th of May 2022 i have been trying to get assistance for a summative assignment not marked but it was graded. i sent an email to the respective lecturer and copied all management of the midrand campus. i then got a response from miss tsietsi advising the lecturer is on sick leave. i had to wait for the lecturer to come back from sick leave to respond to my email as though i was under enough stress. the response i got from her "Afternoon Sizakele,

I hope this email finds you well.

My sincere apologies for not inserting comments previously. I have done so on your research which is now ready for viewing.

I am concerned about the similarity percentage of 38% especially at 3rd year level. Do revisit the Harvard Referencing Method.

Please be advised not to refer to the Programme Convener or any of the staff members by their names, but rather by their titles and surnames, i.e.) Ms Shea.

I hope all is in order."

i then sent the following email: Good day Miss Maepa,

Thank you for the response. according to the marked transcript and rubric i believe you miss calculated my final mark.

question 1.1, I got 12/18 question 1.2, I got 37/55 bibliography 3/5 and 4/5 all of the above adds up to 56/100

you also mentioned on the script that 18% was subtracted due to 38% similarity. And based on my calculations, 18% of 56 is 10.08.

then my final mark is 56 minus 10.08 which equals to 45.92. also find attached the screenshots of the rubric as I am still unable to download the marked transcript.

then miss claris has the audacity to say that i am rude while enquiring about how my marked assignment was graded after i had requested for it to be marked, something which i do not have to beg for.

good day,

group assignment marks:

63/95 please advise how the 10% was deducted from the group assignment because based on my calculations it was calculated as follows: 63 divided by 95 multiply by 10= 6.63 63 minus 6.63 = 56.37. the 56 was the final mark for the group assignment and the similarity report for the group assignment was 41%.

individual summative marks: 56/ 100 18% subtracted. similarity 38% so how do you just minus 18 from 56 without calculating it the same way you calculated for the group assignment. for example: 56 divided by 100 multiply by 18 = 10.08 56 minus 10.08 = 45.92

please clarify because I am even more confused.

but the summative is calculated differently and how is that? because based on the explanation I got from Miss Mhike on teams, she advised that the 18% was subtracted as an 18 for the summative and not as an 18% of the final mark. please provide clarity because your marking standards do not match based on your previous markings of the group assignment.

@Claris Mhike I apologize for wanting to get clarity and I thought the teams meeting would make a difference but i guess i was wrong because from what I got in the Meeting clearly shows that I am not a priority at Eduvos. I did not know that trying to get clarity on how you marked my script would lead to me being called rude. the next time you try to assist a student come with an open mind and the willingness to assist and not to be on defensive mode, because I have a right to be frustrated and to get clarity when it comes to my studies.
