We would like people to read through the TLOs and if possible, bring along an assessment item from any unit that might be suitable for assessing that particular TLO.
Please make sure that you RSVP to James for catering purposes.
The discussions will focus on the first section of TLO 1, essentially the “body of knowledge,” and the second section of TLO 2, essentially the “recognised techniques and appropriate techniques and tools,” found on p 24 and 25 of LTAS Science (see documents listed below). We will approach this from two directions, (i) a discussion of the TLO statements, focussed on essential content and depth expected by the end of the degree; accounting for different themes in degree courses offered and (ii) a discussion centred around assessment tasks we would expect students to do and how these can relate back to the two TLOs. We will set up different groups to tackle these TLOs from these two different directions.
Key points to remember: (i) we are not dealing with individual unit or subject assessment, but there will be assessments among us fit for purpose or for a useful start to spark discussion’ (ii) we are dealing with thresholds, students must demonstrate mastery not simply achieve 50P.
What to bring:
examples of possible assessment tasks (assessments are not intended to go anywhere else).
