Does the intended student learning provide sufficient opportunities for students to experience the
scope and depth of the general objectives in the syllabus?
Two contextualised units of study from Year 11 or 12 must be submitted and include:
 the recommended subject matter from the selected topic/s of study
 the context/s for the unit
 examples of context-based learning experiences
 coverage of the general objectives

3. Assessment plan
The assessment plan conforms with the principles of exit assessment (Section 7.1) (e.g.
balance, continuous assessment, mandatory aspects of the syllabus, significant aspects of
the course, selective updating, fullest and latest) and shows:
 each assessment instrument to be administered
 the semester
 the topic number, title and the topic elements (where applicable)
 the assessment technique to be used
 the criteria in which student achievement is to be assessed
 that the criterion being assessed is appropriate for the assessment technique
 that the terminology used in the assessment plan is consistent with the range of
assessment techniques stated in the syllabus
 each criterion is assessed in each semester
 a range of assessment techniques will be used
 the assessment conditions, e.g. approximate time (in minutes, number of lessons,
e.g. 3–4 x 40 mins) and/or appropriate word length — according to syllabus requirements
 the verification folio requirements will be met, including:

4–6 summative assessment instruments from Year 12

standards awarded for individual assessment instruments for each criterion (this must
reflect the assessment plan)

interim global standards at monitoring and verification

exit global standards

exit level of achievement
