    Default CYPOP 5 support group lol

    Hi
    I know there's a few of us doing cypop5 at the moment as I have posted on a few threads. Thought it might be good to have thread for us all rather than me posting on a few threads at a time.
    So how are you getting on?

    I've just typed my first draft for task1. Not sure I have written enough its just over 1 side of A4. I didn't want to go on too much as I think the aim was to write an outline for parents. I can't imagine them wanting to read loads on legislation and ofsted but maybe I've been a bit too brief. What do you think?

    Also once I submit my assignment is that final? Or if its not good enough do I get a second chance? I'm wondering if I should submit my brief answers to see if it'll do and hope if I need to elaborate I'll get to resubmit. Does anyone know?

    Good luck to all my fellow cypop5ers

    Hi all! I completed my CYPOP5 with PACEY a few weeks ago. Once you submit task for marking you do get a chance to amend it if your tutor marks it as "in progress". You just upload an additional file in the same place, instructions are in the FAQ bit.

    Good luck with it all!

    I'm doing the pacey online version and submitted task 1 yesterday!

    I had the same theory as you petshrinklj...just over a side of a4 and didn't go overly into detail. I've read elsewhere that less is more so hopefully my assessor will agree. If not I think we get to make as many amendments as necessary to get it up to scratch.

    I was actually just logged in and spotted the 'task guidance' doc on the right hand side which looks really helpful. Seems to have a bit more info as to what's expected for each task....which I'm very appreciative of as the tasks themselves don't tend to give you many clues!

    I found that too. I was surprised as to how little info is given. I have printed the task guidance off too as your right that does look helpful. What I found odd was how the next bit of course said task 2 is next but don't worry about it ignore it for now. I'm going to do task 2 next regardless especially now I know I can amend something if its not good enough.

    I am glad that I am not starting for just over a week- I am also studying for an OU degree and am at the end of my Early Years Practice certificate and have 3000 words due in next week

    Looking forward to getting started though!

    Awesome well done. I don't think mine has been marked yet. Did you get an email notification to tell you it had been marked?

    Yey, well done! Yeah mine says competent too, then 100% then the comment....it's not all that clearly recorded I don't think coz most of the other tasks already say competent too on my grade profile thingy. Very confusing!

    I feel like I've jumped over a massive hurdle now I've got a better idea of the type of response they're looking for :-)

    Look out task 2, we're on our way!

    Yes talk to your LA first and check they are ok with it. I'm doing the PACEY course and they won't book you on it unless your have spoken to LA and they say its ok. Goodluck
