7. Assessment Criteria
Assessment criteria provide a consistent and shared language to help students and assessors measure learning. Assessment criteria help to align the learning outcomes of your course unit, the activities you complete, and the way your work is then assessed.
OCA has developed a set of assessment criteria common to all disciplines and courses. These are organised around the terms knowledge, understanding, and application. There are notes on how to understand them within the Assessment Criteria document.
