Assessment
Methods:
Energy
Expertise Academy is using a set of assessment criterions to assess trainees
against each module outcome, assessment method in this course will be one or
more of the following:
Presentation:
This technique asks students to deliver a project
orally or through demonstration
Project: This
technique is a largescale activity requiring self-direction, planning,
research, exploration, outcome and review.
Team Assessment: This technique asks students to work together to show skills in defining and structuring an activity as team. All team assessment should be distributed equally, each of the group members performing their role, and then the team collates the outcomes, and submits it as a single piece of work
