Marking Sheet for ECUR 325 Assignment 1

Assignment 1: Assessment Piece (10% of final grade)

Student name:Kassidy MacPherson- resubmission

Create an assessment OF learning resource for your chosen unit (which you will build for Assignment 3) that reflects both the unit
outcomes and an appropriate method of assessment given those outcomes. This could take the form of a project explanation or outline,
a scaffolding document or visual element describing the assessment task(s), a rubric with a description, a unit test/exam, or some com-
bination of these things.

Include a written reflection or justification (2-3 pages for this part) for the major choices you made in the design of this assessment
piece, making sure to discuss the criteria outlined in the rubric items that pertain to Assignment 1. For each item discuss which specif-
ic criteria you feel you achieved and justify your stance.

Also within this write-up briefly outline the prior knowledge and specific lessons that will be necessary for students to complete the
assessment task – this will help with your later unit planning. Finally, discuss some of your goals for Professional Learning and
Growth (see rubric items #7, 8, 9) as they relate to this assignment and the upcoming Assignments 2 and 3, which will build upon As-
signment 1. While you will not receive a mark on this portion yet, these will be important additions as your portfolio develops.

Instructor comments: Your inclusion of the objectives is what you needed to boost your mark. You needed to let me know
the clear focus for the assessment. You also included more ideas for adaptations. Some areas for further consideration
include the chance for students to self-assess, and the inclusion of the objectives in your rubric. You included the CEL’s, but
like the BAL’s and CCC’s, these are not what is being assessed. Your objectives should be listed instead. Thanks for the
resubmission!
