If they&#39;ve used data vis software during a class activity, they&#39;ve demonstrated that key skill already for your purposes. <br>You should feel comfortable using that data along with a written test to evaluate them on the whole outcome.  Just my opinion, of course!<br>

Thanks for the reply Mark. My students have completed a Data<br>
Visualisation task for &quot;Quit Australia&quot; (An exercise that has been<br>
floating around here on edulists) as a classroom activity. I guess my<br>
concern with giving them the test is ensuring that all stages of the PSM<br>
are covered, which is a requirement of U2O1. John&#39;s test that he put up<br>
here the other week was the test I was interested in doing. So<br>
technically I could give the students the test in order to gauge their<br>
theory knowledge, and also incorporate their practical classroom<br>
activity as well, in order for them to receive an &quot;S&quot; for this<br>
Outcome...<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Quick question. Am I able to give my kids a test for U2O1 as their<br>
Assessment? I know the SD says students must use data visualisation<br>
tools to meet user&#39;s needs, however can this be assessed through<br>
demonstration of general classroom activity and work? I&#39;m running a bit<br>
behind with Unit 2 and would figure that a test would save me some time<br>
and enable me to press on with O2.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>

Hi Benn.  I&#39;d say kids would need to use software, but it&#39;s possible to<br>
get an &#39;S&#39; in a unit by demonstrating knowledge in other forms.<br>
Can you perhaps cut down the software task a bit but still keep some?<br>
