| EDLT 485: Assessment - Portfolio Details |
|
The assessment for this unit is ‘packaged’ as follows:
- Portfolio No. 1 (Task 2, completed
online)
20%
- Portfolio No. 2 (Tasks 1 & 3) 50%
- Portfolio No. 3 (Task 4) 30%
You are normally expected to pass all tasks in order to pass the unit.
Portfolio Presentation
- Portfolios are to be professionally presented, preferably typed or word
processed, in Times 12 point or similar easy-to-read font. Any graphic
presentations or tasks on larger-size paper can be hand-written;
- Only one side of each page is to be typed on with text set out in one-and-ahalf
or double spacing;
- A 5 cm margin, for comments, must be left on one side of each page;
- All quotes, phrases or ideas taken from the literature must be referenced as
per the 2001 UNE Reference Guide or via a web link from the UNE Home
page:
http://www.une.edu.au/tlc/styleguide
The Author:Date system is required.
Note: Because the assessment tasks are not primarily ‘formal essay’ tasks I do not
expect the same rigour in referencing that you are used to. If you need to
refer to the unit materials, it is sufficient to put ‘EDLT485, Ch.4, p.22’ or
even ‘Ch.4, p.22’ provided this is clear from the context. Outside sources
(including web sites) should, of course, be properly referenced. If you
include a Bibliography, you may refer to the unit materials in brief form as:
EDLT485: An Introduction to Learning and Teaching, Book I; or, in full
form, as: Garner, J. & Lloyd, L. (2004) EDLT485: An Introduction to
Learning and Teaching, Books I and II, UNE.
Submission of Portfolios
I have set the due dates to allow you to space out your reading. I recognise that,
despite your best intentions, you are sometimes not able to meet these deadlines.
Please note that although I try to be flexible about lateness this is more possible for
the second assignment and may not be possible at all for the third assignment,
especially if I am using other markers. (Your portfolio has to travel from you to the
Teaching and Learning Centre, to Education and my pigeonhole, and then to the
marker, which may necessitate another postal journey. All this takes time and I
have a deadline for submission of results.) If your portfolio is received late, we
cannot spend as much time giving you feedback (because by then we too will have
other commitments). Do not be fooled by the seemingly few number of pages you
are expected to read for some assessment tasks — my experience every year is that
students significantly miscalculate how long it takes to do the compulsory tasks.
Please read carefully the extension policy in the Appendix.
Submission by internal students
Each portfolio should have a School Cover Sheet/Plagiarism Declaration Form (on
the reverse) with your original signature, attached to the front of the assignment.
The portfolio with Cover Sheet must be handed to your Lecturer in person or in
class. The administrative staff will not be available to collect portfolios.
The first portfolios will be returned in class. The turn-around time for marked
portfolios should be no longer than one month (and will often be much shorter).
The second portfolio will be available for collection in second semester from your
workshop lecturer, at a time notified to you.
