Assessment and Reporting builds students' knowledge and understanding of the purposes of assessment and processes for using assessment techniques and tools for monitoring, informing, improving and enhancing student learning. Students develop formats for recording assessment data and information to meet reporting and accountability standards in contemporary educational contexts. Students understand curriculum, pedagogy and assessment as inter-related components that need to be considered together in the creation of effective learning programs and use principles of effective design to create formative, diagnostic and summative assessment that is responsive to the needs of different students and educational contexts.

You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).
