Formative Assessment

When you review your grades you will notice that the formative assessments are weighted at zero, so they have no effect on your average.  Formative assessments remain mandatory for you to complete, as these are the planning assignments wherein your marker provides you valuable feedback to help you be successful in completing the summative (graded) assignment.  The formative assessments are "marked" out of 5; your mark out of 5 represents the following:

    • 5-excellent
    • 4-proficient
    • 3-basic
    • 2-developing
    • 1-underdeveloped
It is expected that you will download and review all of the files provided for formative assessments and that you will read, consider, and apply the suggestions to your future assignments. Learning cannot happen if you do not review all of the material, including the valuable feedback that is provided to you.

Summative Assessment

These assignments indicate an assignment that is assessed for marks. Feedback provided on these assignments should also be reviewed, considered, and applied in future assignments, as it indicates that you are learning! NOTE: Just fixing the spelling and grammar errors is not the type of change we are looking for, even if it is a suggested area of feedback.
