In what ways
WILL I BE assessed?
Assessment of your participation and achievement is done both by you and
your teachers. You will make your own self-assessment through the reflections
you write. The teacher supervising the activity can also be approached to write
a ‘supervisor review’ on your participation.
When you ask a teacher to accredit you, she or he will make some kind of
qualitative judgement about your involvement and your contribution to it.
This judgement will reflect the ways in which you have demonstrated the
kinds of skills and attributes listed above.
More practical examples of the ways you might demonstrate these
are as follows:
