Lesson 20: Intersections of lines and planes in 3-space

Properties of vectors
You are near the end of this course. This is your final Assessment of Learning, which is used to
evaluate your work based on established criteria and to assign a mark. Your teacher will provide you
with feedback and a mark. This Assessment of Learning is worth 24% of your final mark for the
course.

There are four Tasks in this Assessment of Learning.

how you have done. () My ILC

Your teacher will also provide you with detailed comments about the strengths of your assignment,
the areas of the assignment that need improvement, and the steps you should take to improve your
work in the future.
The final piece of feedback that you will receive is your mark. Each of the four categories of
knowledge and skills is weighted equally at 25 marks, making a total of 100 marks. The final mark
on this Assessment of Learning is determined by your teacher based on their professional
judgement of the requirements for the assignment.

Pay careful attention to the following rubric. This rubric will be used by your teacher to assess your
work. You should refer to it too, so you’ll know exactly what your finished assignment should include.
