ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Technology, its selection and appropriate use, is an integral part of all the following criteria.

Students will be assessed on the degree to which they demonstrate:

• Knowledge – knowledge of mathematical facts, techniques and formulae presented in the unit

• Application – appropriate selection and application of mathematical skills in mathematical modelling and problem solving

• Communication – interpretation and communication of mathematical ideas in a form appropriate for a given use or audience.

ASSESSMENT POLICY

There are a number of ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) requirements that students must meet to be able to be assessed in a unit and be awarded grades and/or scores. These requirements also ensure consistent procedures across the college and the system. Notably these include minimum attendance and completion of classwork and assessment. These are also detailed penalties for late or plagiarised work. Assessments are subject to rigorous moderation procedures within the college to ensure comparability of marking and at the end of year 12 college marks are scaled to allow comparability across the ACT system.

Grades are allocated on the basis of student performance against set criteria that are available in the course framework documents. Students are encouraged to consider carefully the marks and feedback given on assessments and if there are issues with marking, the college has open and transparent appeals procedures.

Further details of these assessment policies and procedures are located on the BSSS website: , or the LTC website .
