Moodle users - do you need to fix your computer?

Some students cannot view all of the Moodles and this means they can’t work on all of the assessments.

 

How will you know if it’s you? In the MYOB, Spreadsheets and Complex Spreadsheets Moodles you should be able to scroll down and view all the way to the end of the semester, including details of the final (supervised) assessment.

 

If you can’t view the final assessment information (regarding weeks, bookings, etc.) then your computer is not showing you the entire Moodle and you may be missing other information and other assessments.

 

How to fix it? You need to clear (delete) all of your temporary internet files or offline content. Your computer is showing you the Moodle as it was several weeks ago.

 

If deleting your temporary files doesn’t work then you should either change browser on your computer, or come in to the TAFE Library and use the TAFE computers to view the Moodle.

Night Business Tax Results - FNSACC401A

My grand plan to email you all with your results has hit two snags.

 

Firstly, I am still assembling your marks from all your various assessments and completing the competency grids for you. I have to run a conference on Friday, so I will aim to release your final results on Monday.

 

Secondly, I don’t have all your email addresses as not all of you have emailed me this semester.

 

If you would like your tax results could you please email me from your TAFE student email account?

 

chris.fergus@tafensw.edu.au

 

Students who need to submit any further work will be advised (and you will have time to do so).
