I opened it to the marking summary and, alas, an autofailed section. I quickly scanned through the pages and what I saw shocked me, more so, made me laugh at my own stupidity.
The funny thing about this fatal error was that the word '10HUNGER' was completely made up by me. I just wasn't consistent in spelling it the same way as the other 30 times I spelled it in my communication strategy.
So how did this happen? I suspected I hit 'ignore all' on my spell check twice: once for the first time I made up this word and second when I actually ignored this one with two h's. I just didn't pay enough attention and didn't even bother checking that I was adding to the exception a spelling with two h's.
Autofail: 50 per cent off. Mark deduction: 7.5 marks gone. Learning opportunity: priceless. For everything else there's pay attention to your words carefully!
On the bright side, your strategy was a standout in terms of content, and will be forwarded to Winnipeg Harvest for consideration.
