Final presentation success and overview of today's class (30/11/21)

Hello all,

Another great class today where we discussed the following:

1. We went over the FAQs for the report writing assessment (see blog post below).

2. The class looked at a report which needed remediation and why.

3. I introduced you to the "Using formal English" document I prepared for today.

4. A quick round the Zoom to see how the reports are coming along (11/1/22 deadline).

5. I was able to clarify that we are only doing four assessments instead of eight for this Unit, which is a concession on the part of the SQA as we are still learning, teaching and assessing during a pandemic (a good move on their part I would suggest). The four assessments are oral presentation, report writing, listening analysis (TED) and reading analysis. The final two assessments look at similar analytical and evaluative skills. I suspect we will complete everything by the Spring break. 

6. Johnathan delivered the final assessed presentation for the first outcome successfully. As always, please note any feedback in the comments section below. Well done Johnathan, we all learned a great deal from your research. And well done to all 18 members of the class, some excellent work across the weeks when we had the presentations. 

See you back on the 21st December to say our festive goodbyes. The next two Tuesdays are self study periods for you for my unit. Good time to think about your reports really...ha ha.

Have a lovely evening.

Mark
