Overview

As a Course Convenor you are responsible for the quality of student learning in your course. Once you have designed the course learning outcomes, a coherent and developmentally-oriented course assessment plan can be designed to align with these outcomes in order to scaffold student learning and development through the course.

This plan describes a sequence of assessment tasks that will enable students to provide evidence of their learning and also enable students and teaching staff to make judgments about students' learning and achievement against pre-determined assessment criteria.
