Re: Request for Reconsideration in Core Subject-Marketing Strategy Analysis and Decisions (MKTG303)
I am a finalist student in the Faculty of Business and Economics pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce degree with a major in Marketing. I am due to graduate after completion of my coursework and successfully excelling in all my core subjects but one, Marketing strategy analysis and decisions. I undertook the subject as required and dedicated my time to it only for the results to show that I have a fail. Not to show that the facilitator had any errors, I am kindly requesting for your reconsideration of my assignment and tests in the subject for verification of my performance in the subject. This will go a long way in helping me have my units ready so that I can graduate on time as per the university plans.
I am confident that your reconsideration will help me to get a good mark above the 47, which gives me a fail in the subject because of several reasons. First, I completed the assignment on time, which supposedly gave me some marks as marks were awarded for timely submission of the assignment. In all the assignments, I was neither late nor untimely in collection and delivery of the assignments, which makes me legible for all the marks regarding timeliness and protects me from related deductions. Second, I strictly followed the assessment criteria in the development of my strategy, including each point that was necessary from the assessment criteria. This formed the first assignment (A1) that in my view, should have given me at least 15 out of the possible 20 marks allocated for this section. I further submitted it on time making my work non-deductible for lateness. The strategy development develop in my assignment was fully relevant to the Australian market and all the outcomes expected sufficed, making my assignment acceptable.
In the second assignment (A2), I strictly followed the deadline provisions in the assignment. I simulated my assignment effectively to the Blue Ocean requirements. In my assignment, I integrated the Share Price Index of the company and the company structure to function in a complex global environment. I practically scaled the Share Price Index of the Blue Ocean to the teams provided on the iLearn Unit Website, which provided me the rounded approach that the assignment called for. The simulation report that I provided also catered for the competitive environment in which the seven year existence of Blue Ocean permitted. This warranted me at least 10 of the 20 marks allocated for this assignment and at least 3 marks for my timely submissions.
Like in assignment 2, I undertook my work seriously and with adequate commitment in assignment 3 (A3). This assignment related with assignment 2 in many aspects and relied on the good work undertaken in the second assignment. Most of the aspects in this assignment reflected on the contents and details in the second assignment hence, due to my work in assignment 2, I was confident of my progress in this assignment. I am content that I performed well in this assignment because I included all the required detail for the reflective assignment found on the iLearn website. After every game, I kept a clean and well inclusive journal and further discussed with friends to ensure that I never missed anything. Transmitting this into my assignment gave me some level of assurance that I would score at least 15 of the 20 marks allocated for this assignment.
Before the forth assignments (A4), which composed of the main examination, I was sure of at least 40 of the possible 60 marks allocated for the assignments. With adequate preparation and knowledge that this was my last subject, I followed all the provisions on the ilearn website, I did my very best in the final examination. This guaranteed me at least half of the examination marks, which would stretch my marks to at least 60, guaranteeing a pass in the subject. It is with this confidence that I embarked on searching for an employment party that would offer me a job on graduation. From these efforts, I landed an offer from Kerisom Food Industries (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd, an overseas company as a marketing assistant on condition that I will graduate this year. This puts me in a compromising situation considering that failing in the unit means I cannot graduate due to a missing core subject. At the same time, the opportunity from Kerisom Food Industries (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd is a one-time opportunity, which does not suffice regularly. It is a sort after chance that I am interested in pursuing it for my success in future.
With the above reasons, I hope you will consider my request and reconsider my assignments for fresh evaluation well on time to enable me undertakes my graduation. I do not intend to infer that the facilitator made a mistake but if that is a possibility, I would kindly request that you consider it. I would also request you to reconsider my final assignment, together with the other assignment to help me know the grounds for failing the subject with 47.
I look forwards to hearing positively from you. Attached, find copies of my letter from the Kerisom Food Industries (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd and my result slip. In case of any information, kindly contact me for clarification and any other necessary information.
