assement rule things (1 Viewer)

[*girl04*]

hey i am just wondering doe your school have the rule that you must be given two weeks notice of an assesment task ( e.g an assigment or a test) is this like an official rule?
because i am in year 11 and i juat got given a business studies speech and realised we only got 12 nights notice. i dont really care but it is annyoing considering the other class got 13 nights anad its breaking a rule i think ( even though it is only year 11)
so yeah i am just wondering, thanks

although u get the notice 2 weeks before the assessment is due.. u should know from the beginning of the year when all ur assessments for every subject are due from ur assessment timetable

It differs between schools. I remember we were once given an assessment task with less than 2 weeks notice, and everyone complained, so they changed the rule to teachers MAY choose to give you two weeks notice, rather than giving us a couple of extra days

our assesment timetable doesnt say exact dates it just says "due term 2 week 2 0r 3"

stuff like that

it is definetely a rule, i looked it up in this booklet thing and i have the right to complain, but since it is year 11, they probably wont care, its the theory though coz if it was year 12 ...

trust me, if they're anything like my school, they'll change the rule rather than extend the date.

but honestly.. who gets straight to working on an assignment the day u get it..
and all assessments which require effort they give more than 2 weeks notice (like business reports, isps, irps, english portfolios)

^^ it is a speech though, so you have to research and pick a thing in biz studies and research it, so it does require a fair bit of work ... also we have hal yearly tests on at the same time

If you think about it, its your rank that matters. If everyone in your grade gets less than 2 weeks notice, then you aren't disadvantaged.

^^ there is two business classes and the other class got more notice. is that a rule? do the two classes have to have an even amount of time? i would think so

it doesnt matter...usually a fortnights notice, i end up doing the assessment the day before anyway

Well did you recieve an assesment booklet detailing what weeks your assesments are on? Well theres your 2 weeks +more notice. They dont have to give you an exact date (eg they arent required to tell you exactly what day you will do your speech 2 weeks in advance)

^^ but we didnt even know what topic the asssin will be on! the assement book lieteally only said you will have an assign towards the end of term 2. it didnt even say whether it would be a researcg, speech or test

but you should at least get reminders!!

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

It's only year 11. If you feel that this isn't fair, speak to someone at school about it, but seriously, one day means nothing. You wouln't have done anything with it anyway.

Also, if you knew that the other business class knew about it before you did, you must have discussed it, therefore you did know about it...right??

The Board of Studies produces a document titled "HSC assessment in a standards-referenced framework: A GUIDE TO BEST PRACTICE". The following is stated on page 14:

<blockquote><h4>3.1.3 Procedures relating to the administration of tasks</h4>...

What procedures are to be followed for:
<ul><li>Providing adequate notice for tasks?
In addition to the schedule of dates for assessment tasks, there must be provision for adequate notice of the
precise timing of each assessment task. Generally, at least two weeks’ notice of the details of a task should
be given.
</ul><div align=right>http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/manuals/pdf_doc/HSC_assess_booklet.pdf</div>
</blockquote>Your teacher would need to have a good reason for providing less time.

Complaints should be directed to your subject coordinator, to your principal, and then to the Board.
