[Year 12 IT Apps] U4O1 marker

[Christophersen, Paula P]

Dear colleagues

 

It is a VCAA decision that no one outcome can be worth more than 60% of
a unit. This applies across all VCE studies. This is primarily for
assessment reasons in terms of protecting students - if they really do
poorly in an outcome that has the bulk of the marks, then their chances
of satisfactorily completing a unit (or getting a high grade) is at
risk. 

 

You will note that in the new study design, there are no outcomes that
require students to complete three assessment tasks for an outcome. This
was in direct response to the feedback that the assessment requirements
were excessive for some outcomes. 

 

Regards

Paula

Yes it is a big SAC. But I must say it's one of the better ones. IT
encompasses all that has been learnt to date and the excel activity is
challenging and achievable. But sure, 80/20 or at the very least 70/30
would be my guess.

Hi Folks,
 
What has hit me is the sheer size of SAC41 in comparison to SAC42.
There is no way the comparative weights of these 2 SACs ( 60 vs 40 % )
is reflected in the volume of work students have to produce. It is more
like 80 vs 20 ......

Just my feedback for anyone who may have had a similar experience

Kind Regards

Hi all.  As I plough through marking the mammoth U4O1, I thought I'd
share my secret marking tool. I find it makes marking big SACs far
easier (since I don't have to add mentally, or remember what I've found
so far that is worth marks) and fairer since my marking scheme doesn't
vary over time.

It's divided into the 3 tasks, and complex items like mockups and
production have little sub-markers underneath for entering components of
marks. This is handy where you find the relevant proof at different
times and want to record (for example) that 'yes, he did use sheet
protection so that's 1 mark' without having to juggle a lot of criteria
in one's head at once.

It also gives 3 task totals for VASS result entry as well as % and
outcome total out of 60.  If you later stick in your U4O2 test result,
it gives your kids' U4 totals (also for VASS data entry).

Hope it helps

Regards
Mark

Now to get onto task 2...
