Assessment Type 1: Folio (50%)

Students undertake at least three folio assessments. One assessment must focus on collaboration skills.

The assessment may take a variety of forms including, but not limited to: 

• individual oral assessments (e.g. prepared presentations, speeches)
• collaborative oral assessments (e.g. role plays, group work, seminars, or debates)
• formal written arguments
• a digital portfolio to capture evidence of progression in the learning of an issue (e.g. journal, reflective statement)
• an annotated cartoon with a writer’s statement
• a video
• a podcast.

A folio task 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: 

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