You will develop an understanding of various assessment, moderation, and evaluation strategies that are used to make consistent and comparable judgments to improve student learning. This unit builds on the skills and understandings developed in first year units and aims to provide opportunities to establish clear links among theoretical underpinnings of assessment, evaluation, reporting, and their applicability to professional practice
