Dear Student
We have received your application for special consideration for the final
exam held last 15 November 2005.
We are still in the process of evaluating your application. If you are
granted a supplementary exam you will receive an e-mail notification before
5 December 2005.
If you do not receive an e-mail by 5 December 2005 this will mean that you
were not granted a supplementary exam and that you must wait for the
release of your final mark in this course.
Please do not send us an e-mail or contact us by phone regarding the status
of your application, as we will not be able to provide you further
information until we have completed the marking of the final exam and
tabulated all your assessments.
Thanks for your patience.
Sincerely,
Dr Maria CA Balatbat PhD CPA
Lecturer
School of Accounting

ok
now lets look at the area which says "If you do not receive an e-mail by 5 December 2005 this will mean that you
were not granted a supplementary exam and that you must wait for the
release of your final mark in this course."
note- if u do not receive an email
tat means or at least implies tat if u get rejected, u wont be informed
and its simply logical that those who are accepted are informed at the same time as those who are rejected(assuming those who are rejected are informed at all- which doesn't seem to be the case).
- its called open and fair disclosure
why?

yes, my actual brain
Depend on your individual situation!aishiteiru said:
redsalert can i ask u a question?
u ever even gone through a complete process of supplementary exam from a FCE school, from application to outcome?
and tats no swipe at u or intended to sound disrespectful
ashiteru
on the 8th wen results come out via email
u'll hae result pending when it comes to acct 2b
based on my experience(unfortunate experience), your finals mark that u achieved in the exam period finals is declared null and void. In its place, the supplementary exam takes the entire weighting of the finals exam ie. 60% in this case.
this is the case applied to all who sit the supp, not based on independent consideration
and i can also confirm other faculties such as engineering and computer science offer supplementary exams to students who fail according to guidelines on a voluntary basis. In that they can sit the supp if they fail or they can choose not to, no applicaiotn needed. maths school also does it.
- in some faculties i can confirm the computer science faculty, no matter what u get in the finals, if u pass the course u'll receive a maximum mark of 50.
- this however is NOT the case for the FCE and particularly not so for the school of accounting.

Yes I have, in the previous session. For BOTH faculty of commerce/economics and computer science. So Yes I do know what I'm talking about.Shawny said:
The Supp should be the same difficulty as the Final exam. In many cases it will have the same format, but it is dependent on the choice of the lecturer. For some courses the Supp maybe replace with an oral exam, but this should not be the case for ACCT.aishiteiru said:
Many of the questions you have asked, the answers are clearly displayed on the faculty website.

i think ashiteru is getting a bit carried away with it all
look at ur email, it says its the same format as declared in week 14 lecture slides.
2b finals was hard enough i dont see how they could make it that much harder if any harder at all.
relax ashiteru
9 days
week 7 and 13 is easy shit
week 6 bit harder
week 8, 9 and 10 extremely hard
week 11 is more or less remembering the journal entries for equity method
week 12 is hard
main thing from what my convo to dianne a while back is that she emphaised that we study the tut questions more than past papers coz last yr's course was taught differently, not to mention diff content. Dianne also specified that she took the same format as some tut questions she set and dianne sets the minority interest question, so yeah thats a good indication.
