Introduction

After you have your work assessed for a unit at a formal assessment event, you will receive a marksheet for the assessment of that work. Each marksheet will include identifying student and course details, an assessor submission checklist, a summative assessment mark, assessment criteria and range statements, and summative feedback.

This guidance can help you to understand what this information is, what you need in order to pass, and how to learn from your assessment.

Please note the following terms which may be used interchangeably within this guidance for your reference:

  • Formal assessment - This may also be referred to as summative assessment or an assessment event.

  • Summative assessment mark - This may also be referred to as a mark, a grade, a result, or an outcome.

  • Summative feedback - This may also be referred to as overall comments and feed forward.
