Learning Outcomes
Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written tests, a group assignment and final assessment.
Tests are closed book and consist of multiple choice, practical exercises and short answer questions.
The group assignment requires students to research the role and function of a financial institution or a major contemporary issue relating to the financial system and of concern to consumers.
The final assessment may be included in the group assessment or in some cases may be an individual assignment.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure the relevant competency standards are being met. Students will be provided with feedback throughout the course to check their progress.
