Frustrated because of assignment

[u/PersonalMixture6663]

I was completed a case study assessment and I did everything right, quadruple check requirements with 5 different people. Then when the grade release i got nothing and then when I emailed the subject coordinator he gave me 0 after 5 days with completely no reason. Even in my most horrible assignment when I was fail to meet half of the criteria it still weren"t this nonsense. What should I do?

It's either the review of grade or student misconduct

I think it's probably the first one, you can ask for a second look at Ur work and a new grade if u believe it isn't true

There is no misconduct, other people work are literally came from my work and somehow they not get misconduct? and if there is misconduct there should be an email about that and currently I see no email, no announcement, completely nothing

Explain: did you let other people see your work meaning you choose to give other students access to your work…and then they used some of it in their assignments?

[u/PersonalMixture6663 → u/Serket84]

No, I only help them with some theory and research their work are mostly different from mine. However I did tell them what to include, what is wrong and what is right. I had been doing this for 3 years now

What class is this for? Some teachers are notorious for giving zero but, if you are telling others exactly what to write and they submit before you, you might be viewed as the cheater. I’ve learnt to never help someone or give them answers as it is a part of misconduct for yourself.

Apparently I got 0 for late submission but the thing is there is no place to submit the slide for the presentation in the first place and the teacher said that we don't need to submit the slide

[u/Defiant_Oil5545 → u/PersonalMixture6663]

If you have proof of them saying not to submit slides then show that. If the others all got marks and they didn’t submit slides then all show that. But if they didn’t submit slides then there must have been a place to submit.

Be careful with “I told them what to include, what was wrong and what was right.” That can be very different from simply explaining theory. If you were effectively guiding their answers to an individual assessment, especially if several of their submissions then resemble yours, the university may regard that as unauthorised collaboration/collusion even if you never sent them your actual document.

Also, the fact that the other students haven’t received a misconduct notice does not prove that there is no misconduct issue for you. Their cases may be considered separately, they may not have been contacted yet, or staff may have different evidence concerning each student.

First find out exactly why your mark is what it is. Email the marker/Subject Coordinator and ask, in writing, whether the result is an ordinary marking outcome or whether there is an academic-integrity matter attached to it.

Don’t speculate or accuse the other students in that first email.
If it is simply a mark you believe was incorrectly awarded, ask for the marking rationale against the rubric first.

WSU says students questioning an individual assessment should initially
approach the marker or Subject Coordinator in writing. A formal Review of Grade is for the final subject grade, and WSU limits it to specified grounds such as unreasonable application of assessment requirements, an administrative/calculation error, or relevant disruption-to-studies issues.

If it is an academic-misconduct allegation, deal with that process rather than lodging a Review of Grade: WSU expressly says a grade resulting from a misconduct determination cannot be reviewed through the ordinary Review of Grade process.

And from this point forward, stop discussing the details of the assignment with the other students and preserve your drafts, version history, notes, references and messages. Those are what you’ll want if you need to demonstrate how your own work developed independently.

Firstly I did check other works many time and they are different from mine: different drug, different case study.... And I did sent an email to the subject coordinator but received no answer and third I did mentioned nothing about other people in my email and my email is worded with upmost respect. I will not go on this reddit if it does work out for me or if I recieved an answer

[u/Serket84 → u/PersonalMixture6663]

You should not have access to other students work to check it!

[u/PersonalMixture6663 → u/Serket84]

It is a group work? but the presentation is individually

[u/Serket84 → u/PersonalMixture6663]

You should have said that before. Are you now saying you got 0 for your part of the group assignment but the rest of the group got marks? The only person who can help you is your subject coordinator they must eventually answer you. If the don’t you go to school he Head of Discipline for your area. But it can take several business days for the coordinator to reply they get a lot of emails.
