11 3 Guidance for assessors Assignments Each assignment is divided into a series of tasks. To achieve each unit, learners need to achieve all the tasks. Typically there will be a: task which requires learners to demonstrate their subject knowledge task which requires learners to demonstrate their practical skills task which requires learners to demonstrate the occupational skills acquired. All tasks are graded, and the grades are then aggregated to provide an overall grade for the assignment for the unit. Learners must pass all tasks in the assignment. Assignments can be completed in any order. There is no need for learners to begin with unit 301 and then to work through the units in numerical order. Centres will be expected to organise the assignments in a logical order according to the requirements of the learners and the course eg with regard to work experience placements, visits. Research and report tasks The research and report type activities in the assignment are not closed book tests. Within the overall time constraints set by the centre, they may be completed away from the centre, in the students own time and at their own pace. Introducing the assignment work to the students It will be beneficial to take the learners through what is required in the assignments and the way in which each part will be graded. Learners should have an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the way the tasks are graded. Learners may refer to their tutors for guidance on parts of the assignment work though they should be aware that, especially for the exploratory tasks, the amount of guidance and support they are given may be reflected in the grade they are given. Learners should be able to negotiate extra time where they have a good reason for the request, but reliability and punctuality are watchwords of employment. Therefore, if the agreed deadline for the return of work is not met, without a valid reason, they must accept that they may fail or may earn no better than a Pass grade for their work, regardless of how good it is. Timings for assignments A submission schedule should be worked out by the centre, governed by the overall assessment plan for the course, to be negotiated between tutor/assessor and learner. Practice may show that some learners could be fast-tracked. The relationship between course delivery, the handing out of assignments, and the deadlines for their return are matters for agreement between the tutors and the learners locally. Submission of assignment work

12 It is recommended that learners be given an opportunity to submit a draft of their written work to their tutor/assessor, within an agreed timeframe, to gain feedback on whether they have done enough to achieve a pass or better for that assignment. Once the assignment has been formally submitted, however that is the work that will be formally graded. Please note however, that for tasks where the level of support from the centre is part of the grading criteria, this may prevent learners achieving a higher grade. Learners should also be informed of the results of missing the centre s submission deadline to focus their minds on the need for dependability, reliability ie a professional approach. Failure to submit on time, without a valid reason, could mean that learners fail the assignment or cannot obtain better than a Pass grade. Opportunities to repeat tasks within an assignment Learners who fail a task can repeat the task, at the centre s discretion, but cannot achieve higher than a Pass grade. Authenticity Centres are reminded to check for authenticity of work where learners may be using texts and the Internet to complete tasks. Feedback Assessors must provide feedback on every occasion that a skills observation takes place. A pro forma for feedback has been included in this assessment pack. Learner records of work Learners should be encouraged to keep their work carefully in a portfolio. This may be an unfamiliar form of record keeping for many of them, but it is a good discipline which will benefit them when they progress in their learning and training. In addition, learning themes tend to recur in linked or higher levels of award and it may only be necessary for them to add a little to what they have already done to achieve the new standard. 10 Level 3 VRQ s in Media Techniques (7601) Assessment Pack

Some tasks are weighted greater than others, therefore carry a higher number of points. All points should be added together and overall grade determined, as in example below. To combine the grades of graded tasks: assign a mark for each grade achieved add these together and divide by the number given to calculate the average, using the grid provided use the conversion chart to convert back to an overall grade Example assignment mark sheet Task Evidence Grade for task Mark Pass (2 mark) Merit (4 marks) Distinction (6 marks) A Practical task Merit 4 B Practical task Distinction 6 Task Evidence Grade for task Mark Pass (1 mark) Merit (2 marks) Distinction (3 marks) C Report Pass 1 D Evaluation Merit 2 =Total mark for all graded tasks 13 Conversion chart Average Grade Pass Merit Distinction Divided by 6 =Average mark for tasks Overall grade (see conversion chart) Merit

14 4 Accreditation of prior learning/achievement Some students may have previously followed a programme with a similar assessment regime, albeit at a lower level. It may be that previous work, especially research or finding out about type tasks, could count, either wholly or in large part, towards the assignment work in this qualification. The general rules for evaluating evidence (VACS) must still be observed, there is an obvious link between what was produced earlier and the evidence required in this scheme (validity); the work submitted is genuinely the work of that student (authenticity); it was not completed so long ago that they would either have forgotten their learning or that legislation had been introduced or changed in the meanwhile (currency) and that there is enough evidence to give confidence that the requirements of the unit have been met (sufficiency). The way in which these APL/ APA judgments have been made should be clear to the External Verifier when sampling during visits. 12 Level 3 VRQ s in Media Techniques (7601) Assessment Pack

15 5 Assessment and verification Codes of practice The importance of safe working practices, the demands of the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Codes of Practice associated with the industry must always be adhered to. Health and safety The requirement to follow safe working practices is an integral part of all City & Guilds qualifications and assessments, and it is the responsibility of centres to ensure that all relevant health and safety requirements are in place before learners start practical assessments. Should a learner fail to follow health and safety practice and procedures during an assessment, the assessment must be stopped and the learner advised of the reasons why. The learner should be informed that they have not reached the standard of assessment required. Learners may retake the assessment at a later date, at the discretion of the centre. In any cases of doubt, guidance should be sought from the external verifier. Verification of assignments By using marking checklists verifiers can check that evidence for an assignment is complete and can ensure that allocation of marks has been fair and beyond dispute. Assessors must ensure that learners understand why a particular grade has been given for the assignment. It is for this reason that City & Guilds requires the signature of both the assessor and the learner on the final assignment mark sheet. If a learner s work is selected for verification, samples of work must be made available to the appointed external verifier. The external verifier will ensure that: the Quality Assurance Co-ordinator is undertaking his/her responsibilities the Quality Assurance Co-ordinator is given prompt, accurate and constructive feedback on centre operations a report is written by the external verifier on centre activities for City and Guilds. Internal quality assurance Approved centres must have effective quality assurance systems to ensure optimum delivery and assessment of qualifications. Quality assurance includes initial centre approval, qualification approval and the centre s own internal procedures for monitoring quality. Centres are responsible for internal quality assurance, and City & Guilds is responsible for external quality assurance. Full details and guidance on the internal and external quality assurance requirements and procedures, are provided in Providing City & Guilds Qualifications. This document also explains the tasks, activities and responsibilities of quality assurance staff.

16 In order to fully support learners, centres are required to retain copies of learners assessment records for three years after certification. Centres are also free to design their own assignments, if they feel their suggestions better reflect local needs, and are encouraged to be as creative and inventive as possible, particularly with the research or finding out component. These locally-devised proposals should fulfill the same general assessment purpose as the City & Guilds set assignments, should use the same marking and grading criteria, and should be agreed by City & Guilds and the External Verifier before use, and sampled by the External Verifier before the assessments are claimed. Entry for assessment and certification Learners should be registered via the Walled Garden or using Form S at least 28 days before any assessment. Results of assignments should be submitted in the form of grades via the Walled Garden or by using Form S. Only those components which have been achieved should be included. Each component number is entered, followed by P (Pass), M (Merit) or D (Distinction) to indicate the grade the learner has achieved. 14 Level 3 VRQ s in Media Techniques (7601) Assessment Pack

17 6 Introduction to the assignments for learners 6.1 Assignment instructions The assignments will ask you to perform a combination of tasks. These will typically be that: they require you to demonstrate your subject knowledge they require you to demonstrate your practical skills they require you to demonstrate the occupational skills you have acquired. The assignments are an assessment, but they are also there to support your learning. All the tasks are graded and you can be awarded a Pass, a Merit or a Distinction grade, depending on how well you perform. To complete the assignment work for a unit successfully you need to achieve at least a Pass grade in all the tasks. Timings There is no particular time limit set for the completion of this assignment. Your tutor will guide you however on the maximum time you should allow in order to be sure of completing all of the required assignments within the time available for the course. The timescale for the completion of assignments will be negotiated between you and your tutor. However, the results of your failure to submit on time, without a valid reason, are that you may fail the assignment or cannot obtain better than a pass grade. You may discuss your work with your tutor to get feedback on whether the accuracy and amount of work you have done will earn you a pass or better. However, you will also need to meet the centre s timescales for submitting your work. The extent of help and support sought from your tutor may make it difficult for you to get a higher final grade, as this may be part of the grading criteria.

18 6 Introduction to the assignments for learners 6.2 Presentation of work Presentation of work Prepare a front cover and contents page for your assignment and try to present your work in a clear and. You are encouraged to word process your responses (and other simple application programmes where they are accessible) as this will help to generate valuable key skills evidence: this is not a requirement or essential however. For research and report tasks you may wish to refer to books, information given to you by your tutor or you may wish to research the internet. If you do this, remember to include a reference to show where the information came from. You must also provide the answers in your own words your assessor obviously knows the way you normally express yourself so they will be able to tell if you have simply downloaded material or copied it directly from a textbook. You may also wish to include any relevant charts, pictures and leaflets you have collected. Use colours, symbols and diagrams, where you think they will help to illustrate your answers. Your tutor will guide you if there is any part of this assignment that you do not understand. 16 Level 3 VRQ s in Media Techniques (7601) Assessment Pack
