Assessment Type 2: Sources Analysis

Students undertake one sources analysis for a 10‑credit subject and two sources analysis for a 20‑credit subject. 

Students analyse a maximum of five different sources relating to a current political issue or debate that they can follow over a period of time.

The sources analysis may be undertaken as an individual or collaborative activity.

A sources analysis assessment should be a maximum of 1000 words if written or a maximum of 6 minutes if oral, or the equivalent in multimodal form.

For this assessment type, students provide evidence of their learning in relation to the following assessment design criteria:

• research and analysis
• critical and creative thinking
• understanding and ethical reasoning.
