Assessment
The work a student is required to complete to fulfil educational purposes, provide a basis for a record of achievement or certification of competence, or permit grading. It is usual for students to be assessed on their individual achievement but in some courses group assessment may occur. Assessment tasks may include assignments, class tests, performance bases, viva voce, learning tasks and examinations.
For further information, refer to the CQU Policy Website for the suite of assessment policies:
