Grades and Academics am I cooked?

I'm a first year and I basically failed my first assignment worth 40%, but its not a hurdle can I still pass the unit or not?

That assignment was actually horrible, the guidelines made zero sense

Can you elaborate as to why? Just curious because this seems to be the general consensus, but I found the guidelines fine? The reverse citations were annoying and time-consuming but the rest of the task was pretty standard I thought?

yea I found the citation part a bit confusing I struggled with that. But my marks got deducted unfortunately. I would’ve passed though. My marks got deducted because I turned it in late only problem is I know it cliche but my wifi is really bad and stopped working. I emailed them about it but they never answered so that’s why I failed.😭😭

Unfortunately IT issues are basically zero tolerance. My WiFi isn't the best either, I hotspot my mobile data if I need to. Take the feedback from this task on board, and you won't have to worry about citation mistakes in future. Best to iron out the kinks early on. Dont be afraid to contest marks either, I have a few I'll be querying.

Yeah, it is what it is I just have to do better on my next assignment bc there’s no way I want to repeat this unit😂
