Assessment before Review
“Skills such as paraphrasing, synthesising and summarising …take time to teach and develop, but when the report is due in week 4, students are being assessed on skills we have not had adequate time to teach.”
“More formative assessment is needed”
“The course is summative‐assessment driven”
“Greater emphasis needs to be placed on skills”
“Teaching the academic skills for report writing are the most relevant”
“A lot of the course content focuses on paraphrasing, correct note‐form skills…yet this is not reflected in the [assessment].”

ValueThe importance of valuing skill development
Individual rubrics used to assess each skill
![Page 11: ePortfolio: Evidencing academic skill development. Rosie McKay](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021919/5880375a1a28abfd0a8b461d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Key PointsPlagiarism and authentication
Summative assessments must verify skill development in a controlled setting
Assessment weighting must value both the formative and summative learning processes.

Key PointsFeedback mechanisms
In‐built need for reflection on skill development and performance in summative assessments with relevant criteria
Need for students to demonstrate critical thinking and the ability to act on feedback

My notes on Rosling

Staff Feedback
“…reinforces the notion that the students are to work on an ongoing basis and produce work in order to upload the tasks. It enables [them] to see the connection between the skills.”
“The explicit emphasis on academic skills is of much value to the students. Many students have built awareness of the purpose of each skill as well as methods of application that will serve them well in their future study …the ePortfolio actually forces them to engagewith these ideas […] The reflection…encourages them to think about how they learn best
as well as set goals for future learning. I found it very useful as a teacher to be able to read the ideas of the students...
“…encouraged students to consider feedback
and implement strategies for
improvement.”
“The requirement of the ePortfolio sets the scene that what students learn in
class matters and that theyare expected to organise themselves
and keep records of everything they do.”
“…a good way to introduce the important underlying micro skills ... Over time the students were able to see how the skills built upon one another.”
