Good and bad assessment experiences - CATT503E-18EX-M10-CX by TANZ eCampus https://padlet.com/itsupport4/2shgiu821d1c en-us 2018-09-24 02:45:08 UTC 2018-10-31 23:32:04 UTC hello@padlet.com Good assessment experience: I have been on courses where the assessment tasks are gradually implemented, with increased levels of difficulty. This stood out to me as I was allowed to develop at my own pace and build my confidence as I progressed. https://padlet.com/itsupport4/2shgiu821d1c/wish/291513084 2018-10-11 00:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/2shgiu821d1c/wish/291513084 Bad assessment experience: I have been given tests before where I was required to memorise an entire years worth of learning, not knowing which aspects would be tested. This was both stressful and time consuming and then after the test I would not retain much of the information as my brain had been overloaded. https://padlet.com/itsupport4/2shgiu821d1c/wish/291513630 I think it would have been better to have smaller assessments along the way to build up the required knowledge gradually. That way, it would have been less stressful and I think I would have retained more, especially if subsequent assessments built upon one another.]]> 2018-10-11 00:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/2shgiu821d1c/wish/291513630 Bad Assessment Experience: A written test that required me to memorize the entire years learning. https://padlet.com/itsupport4/2shgiu821d1c/wish/292663018 This test compared me with others in the class and I always felt ashamed for getting a low mark for I felt that I am not good enough in comparison to others.

I was doing a paper that when I looked back I could see a logical progression of tasks that built towards the major assessment at the end. So all of the smaller tests, essays and other tasks along the way scaffolded beautifully into the final project. I remember appreciating it at the time as I was doing the first two modules of NZCATT https://padlet.com/itsupport4/2shgiu821d1c/wish/298768996 Craig

The many pointless exams I have taken in my life where you learn information for the sake of taking the test. With no context for a lot of the learning it means nothing apart from a score on a piece of paper. https://padlet.com/itsupport4/2shgiu821d1c/wish/298769924

This was both in a degree programme and also here in NZCATT.

Non of the many assignments/essays over the two years counted for anything. I think that the course work should have been taken into consideration and been part of the overall mark, much like NCEA. Also - imagine - doing away with exams!
