Good and bad assessment experiences - CATT503E-19EX-M02-DX by TANZ eCampus https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz en-us 2019-01-15 20:07:48 UTC 2026-01-12 22:05:49 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/330556789 Fear to fail,
many students a very nervous prior to assessment and sometimes hinder them to perform to their ability.
Practicing assessment dishes prior under real assessment condition helps learners to gain confidence.

Our tutor gave us the questions a couple of days before so we could study specifics and really work out the finer points of what we needed to include in our assessment. The assessment itself was closed book but getting the questions in advance meant you could focus on the most important aspects for each question. I found it really helped to reinforce my learning of the key points. It also reduced the feeling of stress created by the unknown, I think stress can be damaging to our ability to learn. https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/331088849 Julie (EIT)]]> 2019-02-13 23:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/331088849 BAD - I had an assessment where we were asked to do a calculation but were not provided with the equation to use. We had been taught a lot of equations in the course and I could not remember this specific one. It was a multi-part question so if you couldn’t remember the equation you couldn’t answer any part of the question properly. I think we should have been provided with the equation. We still would have had to apply it correctly and answer the questions based on our result. I think that would have been a more effective assessment rather than our ability to remember and regurgitate. https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/331089701 Julie (EIT)]]> 2019-02-13 23:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/331089701 Good and Bad Assessments https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/331964699 The physical assessment for the Australian Fire Service was an assessment where it was easy to see the correlation between the tests and the tasks that would be required in the job. All testing was conducted in full protective equipment and involved performing tasks that were needed in the role (dragging hoses, holding tools, navigating with limited visibility etc.). 
A bad assessment experience was an English assignment that involved reading a set novel and painting a poster that reflected the themes of the book. The teacher marked each poster on how well it was painted rather than how well it represented the text, which as a terrible artist myself, was not my favourite.

I'm sure it is hard too mark but the inspirational teachers made such a big deal of creativity being the ability to unpack your thought process, that as I say it was liberating.]]> 2019-02-20 01:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/333001608 Neither Good or Bad https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/334515493 I found that the competency judgement based assessment rubric from CATT501 & 502, didn't provide me with the feedback I needed. If the marking rubric only has competent (C) or not yet competent (NYC) with no or limited feedback attached, it makes it difficult to know how well I understood the task/criteria. I also began to change how I approached the assessment in terms of effort. When you are assessed with a marking rubric that contains a grade, or clearly demonstrates where you sit within a level of achievement, then you have a clearer idea of what you need to work on, or similarly, if you have achieved to a high level then you feel good about it and it validates what you are doing. I understand how competency based assessment works for a particular on the job skill (for example using machinery). In this instance you have to achieve a level of competency before you can move onto another machine or use equipment unsupervised; this makes sense particularly when health and safety is a factor. In terms of the The NZ Qualifications Authority good assessment criteria, the assessment so far ticks the boxes, but as David Boud states, "feedback complements assessment."

I've then not really been sure what specfically went well and how I could keep developing my work. ]]> 2019-02-28 02:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/8yue5h0otruz/wish/336233916
