Assessment

Emphasis throughout the course is on developing knowledge, competence and confidence in practical skills and problem-solving. You will learn how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society. A total of 6 hours of examinations were taken at the end of the course (3 exams). A wide range of question types will be used including multiple-choice, short answer and extended response questions. These exams will allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of theory, practical skills and maths skills. In addition to practical skills being assessed in the exams, your practical competency will also be assessed separately by your teachers. The course will offer regular opportunities for hands-on practical work, which will contribute towards this Practical Endorsement.
