These will approximately equate to 6,000 words of assessment. Portfolios will include tasks that allow students to collect and evidence their learning which may include written reports and/or presentations. Specific tasks are outlined on Cloud Deakin. In an experience requiring team-based assessments, the team-based tasks will not constitute more than 50% of the overall assessment for the unit
The assessment due weeks provided may change. The Unit Chair will clarify the exact assessment requirements, including the due date, at the start of the teaching period.
