Method of Assessment

In the centre’s assessment strategy. LWC is encouraged the use of a range of assessment vehicles that will engage learners and give them an opportunity to both demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of a topic and to evaluate how they might apply that knowledge in a given context.

We would recommend avoiding essay writing and that more varied types of assessment are included. This might include assessment through:

• a research activity resulting in the compilation of a report

• an academic paper or article for publication • the compilation of a case study

• a critical review and evaluation of a chosen company’s policies, procedures and systems

• a set project completed for an employer (also known as an ‘employer-engagement’ activity)

• the production of a portfolio of evidence relating to a particular unit

This list is by no means exhaustive, but gives examples of some creative assessment methods that could be adopted.
