Setting student expectations on assessments early may be done by early shared assessment. One idea is to get students to share parts of individual assessment items and share them. Students go and look at others work and discuss in the class. This introduces various approaches in which students may attempt an assessment

Could we have an ungraded first year, but complement it with a threshold requirement program of orientation/transition throughout the first year with compulsory co-curricular components, eg every student comes up with a career plan, engages with academic skills, other services, has a mentor, etc. And perhaps College/discipline specific programming too.

the old central vs College question :-) but there are a lot of duplications and also differing advice students get.
Question is also who is accountable for what information?
Consistent practices are needed.

This is a big problem and very poor practice especially when staff have all been cut too. The better teachers should be teaching first year, and the first years classes should be smaller. First year chemistry was over 590 students in first year.
