2.1 Reflection on formative assessment

Reflection on learning in Assignment 01
Write a clear and logical description of:

A. Reflection of my errors
The first assignment is comprised of two separate elements. The opening part of the
research focused on a series of multiple-choice questions, while the following segment
explored a comprehensive review of literature related to the topic of plagiarism. I
achieved a score of 7 out of 10 on the multiple-choice examination. Ms. Nomvuyo
Bekwa made a mistake while assessing the multiple-choice questions. After
meticulously examining my mistakes, I attained a score of 9 out of 10. Following a
comprehensive examination of the lecture feedback, I have meticulously pursued the
answers. I regretfully acknowledge that I made a mistake in my response to question 10
of the multiple-choice section. I inadvertently chose option A rather than the correct
choice, which was B.
Section two was an utter failure. I faced challenges in grasping the assigned tasks, as I
depended exclusively on my individual interpretation to tackle the literature review. I
sincerely regret any mistakes I may have made in conveying relevant and important
information without proper citation. The introduction and background presented for the
topic lack depth, suggesting that further articles are necessary to improve the
coherence and thoroughness of the literature review. The variables were not clearly
defined or specifically identified. Furthermore, I perceived the clarification of my
variables to be inadequate, as it did not provide a thorough grasp of the anticipated
standards and methodologies necessary for executing the literature review. The
definition used was overly broad and did not include the necessary citations or
contextual significance.

An additional error was noted regarding the incorrect application of the APA referencing
style, particularly in the in-text format. Challenges arose in effectively linking the
problem statement to existing research, as well as in adequately substantiating the
importance of the study. The literature review posed a considerable challenge and
resulted in notable frustration, prompting thoughts of surrender due to my less-than-
satisfactory performance.


B. Feedback
The feedback offered by the lecturer regarding the initial assignment has proven
instrumental in identifying and rectifying my errors. I believe that the introduction
and background provided for the topic are insufficient. I regret to inform you that I
failed to adequately demonstrate my comprehension of the task at hand. I referred
to the learning resources accessible on myUnisa in order to read with
comprehension and ascertain the expected content, rather than relying solely on
my own understanding. I required additional information and conducted further
research on articles pertaining to plagiarism.




The assessment sheet serves as a valuable tool in demonstrating the scoring
criteria for each section, providing a comprehensive reference to ensure thorough
coverage of the discussed topics.0717513144 I have categorised the various
forms of plagiarism into variables, specifically focusing on student attitudes
towards plagiarism and the extent of plagiarism. The previous research required
further refinement, and the reference was not appropriately employed. In the
future, my primary objective will be to enhance my adherence to the appropriate
APA styles in order to minimise the likelihood of repeating similar errors.

Based on the lecturer's feedback, it is evident that further work is required to
establish a connection between the current research question and the existing
body of knowledge. Additionally, the research's value is not adequately
demonstrated. Literature review lack’s structure, exhibiting a lack of coherence

and development of ideas. The arguments presented are not clearly articulated,
and the material is not adequately integrated. This demonstrated a lack of
comprehension regarding the assignment, as I composed it based on my own
understanding rather than adhering to the prescribed guidelines for completing the
task. I exhibited inadequate time management skills, resulting in subpar
performance. A significant portion of the work was completed hastily, lacking a
comprehensive understanding of the task at hand and the necessary
requirements for the assignment. By actively engaging with peers and tutors,
actively participating in discussion forums, and diligently attending online
sessions, I have been able to enhance my comprehension of the requirements for
this assessment. In the future, I will make a conscious effort to seek clarification
whenever I encounter something I don't understand. I will not hesitate to ask for
assistance in order to gain a better understanding. Additionally, I will dedicate
more effort to the assessment process.




Reflection on learning in Assignment 02
Write a clear and logical description of:
Reflection of assignment 2 errors
Assignment 2 was based on 50 multiple choice questions. Nine of the questions I
answered incorrectly. The questions had a lot of similar options and statements to
choose from and was tricky which resulted my failure to identify those similarities
appropriately.


Incorrect options selected
I incorrectly opted for option B for question 4, while the correct choice was option D.
I incorrectly opted for option C for question 10, while the correct choice was option B.
I incorrectly opted for option D for question 19, while the correct choice was option A.
I incorrectly opted for option B for question 22, while the correct choice was option A

,SEM 2 2024 HMEMS80 POE 2024 SEM 2 2024

I incorrectly opted for option B for question 25, while the correct choice was option A.
I incorrectly opted for option D for question 27, while the correct choice was option A.
I incorrectly opted for option C for question 33, while the correct choice was option B.
I incorrectly opted for option B for question 35, while the correct choice was option D.
I incorrectly opted for option B for question 37, while the correct choice was option A.


Challenging questions
The similarity among some of the questions created a challenge in distinguishing the
incorrect options from the correct ones. Consequently, I found myself guessing the right
answer, as I had not allocated sufficient time to revisit the chapter and fully comprehend
the questions presented. I must strive 0717513144for improvement and not overlook
this opportunity. I ought to have been more discerning based on my prior experiences
with multiple-choice questions, paying closer attention to the misleading aspects of the
options and delving deeper into the assigned material to extract the accurate
information.


Feedback received on Assignment 2
For the multiple-choice questions, I got 40 correct from the 50 questions. But there is an
error cause from the quiz navigation I got 9 incorrect which means I got 41 correct from
the 50 questions. The lecture did not provide any feedback where I was incorrect but
only the answer sheet to check the answers.


Challenges on Assignment 2
The multiple-choice questions incorrect options were caused by how tricky the way
questions were asked as they were similar options and statements to choose from and
my failure to identify those similarities appropriately because I was not sure of the
correct option to choose from.

Addressing Assignment 2

,SEM 2 2024 HMEMS80 POE 2024 SEM 2 2024

There is a huge improvement and hope from assignment 2, I had to study hard and
follow the instructions given on myUnisa learning material to improve my performance.
The grades I got from assignment 1 motivated me to do better for assignment 2 to pass
this module. Reviewing the 9 incorrect responses and the corresponding correct
answers, and aligning them with the prescribed material, made me understand the
mistakes made.
