How am I being assessed in Science?
- You will receive an A-E assessment. 'C' is generally the most common mark students get as it means 'at the standard expected'. Most of your assessments will simply say 'at the standard' or 'above the standard' or 'not yet at the standard'. In your reports you will see your A-E mark.
- Formal assignments (about 1-2 assignments per term) and tests (usually only 3-4 tests per year)
- Smaller, informal tasks that you do in class.
- Your verbal communication of ideas and participation in class
- Your practical work: including recording, observations and safety
