Assessment Workshop 1

Opener - think, pair, share

Today's session is to look at why and how we do assessments. Before we go any further I want to think about why we do assessments?So in pairs I want you to discuss the following questions

• Why do we do assessments?
• What type of assessments have you done in the past?
• What do you think the purpose of 'Assessment workshops' is?

You have 5 minutes - be prepared to share back

Why?

Assessment workshops are here to support you in your assessments

• knowledge and skills to complete your assessments sucessfully
• scaffold towards them
• Oppurtunities for tutor and peer feedback

• One important skill for being sucessful in assessments is planning,
• Below is a document which will help you in planning for all your assessments (not just for this module)

Task

For this you will need

• The assessment checklist - available below
• To know where to find your assessment briefs!

In pairs do the following

• Using the Assessment brief fill in the checklist for your first assessment
• You have a maximum of 15 minutes
• When completed check with your tutor
• If you complete sucessfully - identify the key steps you think you'll need to take to complete your assessment
• Using either a timescale (week by week plan) plot out these key steps over the next 11 weeks.
