ATT 6.5 SUBJECT ASSESSMENT DETAILS
Delivery site:
Subject
All SCD subjects are available to be taught at any site at any time. The template
provided has been modified by removing the session, the weighting, and the moderation
arrangements.
The session column has been removed because subjects have no required time of
delivery.
The assessment column provides details of what the SCD calls Assessment Profiles.
The Assessment Profile identifies the kind of assessment outcomes and their broad
content, and gives examples of the kind of assessment task suited to engaging with that
content. It allows flexibility in which text(s) and which methodology is used, and in which
kind of task. It requires the assessment tasks to include such an exercise and to state
clearly what methodology is to be used by the student, and the form in which the task is
to be completed. See Attachment 6.5.1 Guide to Writing the Assessment Profiles.
The weighting has been removed because the Assessment Profiles allow for flexibility in
this regard, both between MIs and from year to year. The amount of flexibility is
governed by the SCD statement on weighting of assessment. See Attachment 6.5.1.a
Amount of Assessment.
The moderation column has been removed because the same moderation processes
apply to every unit. These processes are included at the end of the table.
The Bachelor of Theology (Honours) (Korean), Associate Degree of Christian Thought
and Practice (Korean), and Diploma of Christian Studies (Korean) use the Korean
translation of these tasks. The exact Korean wording is available in the full subject
