Assessment

Criminology is assessed using a combination of internal and external assessments. Unit 2 and 4 are externally assessed as follows: a 90-minute examination with a total of 75 marks; three questions on each paper with both short and extended answer questions based on stimulus material and applied contexts. Units 1 and 3 are internally assessed through summative controlled assessment in a model assignment. The three controlled stages are task setting, taking, and marking.
