Learning & Assessment

FIM111 is delivered using a project and activity-based approach where you apply the ideas, concepts, and research learned each week to different projects throughout the unit. You will be given a grade at the end of unit based on your performance and participation in the projects, weekly activities and feedback sessions. This grade is based on your process in completing projects, the final project outcomes and the way you work (i.e. transferable skills).

Whether your class is held on campus or remotely there are activities to be done before, during and after class. Engaging in these activities will help you work toward completing your projects and ultimately determine your success in the module.

Holistic Assessment

Your final grade is a holistic appraisal of your individual performance throughout the module. Your individual performance will be assessed holistically by your facilitator for the duration of the module in two ways:

• To gain a pass – you must demonstrate that you have independently met the module learning outcomes at a pass standard on multiple occasions, through participation in pre-class tasks, in-class projects, and activities, and post-class reflection.

• To gain a grade higher than a pass – you must demonstrate that you have addressed holistic assessment standards.

Refer to the Guideline for Holistic Assessment in Stage 1 below for more information

Receiving Project Feedback

Feedback comes in many forms and from many sources including your facilitator your peers examples of other work and your own research. It will give you guidance on your progress and potential areas to improve. Take note of your feedback because you are asked to reflect on your response.

Project Progress

Your Facilitator will provide you with feedback about how you are progressing in your projects. In the Unit Guide you can find the brief for each project. This outlines the project and its requirements. Each project will require you to meet set learning outcomes. Projects will include a deadline and checkpoints.

Feedback and project Status

Refer to the Unit Guide for details on the project and submit a link to your Learning Journal and relevant requirements as per the project brief. Once you have pasted and submitted the link to your Learning Journal site for the briefs, your Facilitator will provide feedback and indicate the status of your project and if it has met the requirements. If you have met the requirements of the brief, your facilitator will provide feedback and indicate the status of your project as one of the following:

• No submission

• Insufficient Evidence

• Needs Improvement

• Pass

• Good

• Very Good

• Excellent
