Assessment+Overview

Assessment tasks
To pass this unit, students must achieve an aggregate mark for the unit at pass level or better, and submit all assessment tasks. Assessment tasks aim to establish links between relevant theory and classroom practice. The intention of assignments in EDSS 223 is to enable you to develop your understanding of the principles upon which this unit is based and to demonstrate the application of this understanding through the assignment tasks set. This is an example of assessment //for// learning since by completing the assessment tasks you will develop your understanding of the central concerns of EDSS 223. Assignment tasks also, of course, provide a means to evaluate and assess your progress in the unit. They, therefore, also provide for assessment //of// learning by allowing you to demonstrate your understanding of the theoretical foundations for HSIE teaching and your practical implementation of HSIE curriculum at the time the assignment tasks are due. A detailed description of each assignment can be accessed via the EDSS223 Home Page, it's in the top left corner under Activities. //For details of the School policy regarding grading, submission, and extension of time for assignments, please refer to the Marking Policy link on the right hand side// If you have any enquiries or concerns in relation to the preparation or marking of your assignment work please contact your group’s lecturer who will be happy to advise on how to address them.
