How your work is assessed Units 1 – 7 will be graded as a PASS / FAIL / REERAL – Your feedback sheets will indicate to what level of PASS you are achieving (low, good or excellent) If you fail to submit on time or with ALL items of work you will fail and your work will be referred. This work will be assessed again, and if you failed due to ill health, lack of understanding or other plausible Reasons you will be allowed ONE more chance to resubmit – but the work will need to be completed in Your own time and during COMPULSORY WORKSHOPS on Wednesday afternoons. If it is decided you failed due to lack of effort you may not be granted the opportunity to resubmit. Unit 8: Final Project will determine your grade for the year. This will be EXTERNALLY graded by the exam board As well as by us ALL work will be marked and then internally verified (marked again by another teacher) before the final grade is given
