This paper aims to explain errors in predictions through 12 in-depth interviews with undergraduate online students wrongly predicted as being/not being at risk of failing their next assignment. The following themes emerged from the thematic analysis [11] : motivations for taking the module, studying patterns, reasons for not submitting the assignment, factors that helped or hindered submission, tutor contact, student contact, recommendations for other students so that they submit and proposed module changes. FN students made suggestions for future students to follow the online study guidance and plan ahead for submitting assignments on time. ./cache/cord-028477-guvc9aa0.txt ./txt/cord-028477-guvc9aa0.txt
