Assessment schedule – Software Engineering
A range of tasks based on syllabus content that can be modified to suit individual school contexts and procedures as required.
The Year 11 formal school-based assessment program is to reflect the following requirements:
- three assessment tasks
- the minimum weighting for an individual task is 20%
- the maximum weighting for an individual task is 40%
- one task must be based on a project
- only one task may be a formal written exam.
A blended approach to assessing object-oriented programming (OOP) and programming mechatronics has been adopted in this sample assessment schedule where assessment occurs after 15 weeks of learning of knowledge and skills from both focus areas
