Formatif submissions

Hi all,
Just to clarify the situation with formatif.
-
Any task submitted before April 25th (AOE) will receive feedback.
-
Submissions should be considered your best attempt - because of time constraints you will only have one opportunity to improve your submission based on feedback.
-
Submissions not marked as complete by April 28th may be eligible for partial completeness
-
Solutions will be released on April 25th - submissions/responses after this time need to demonstrate originality: they should either be based on feedback of a previous submission; or significantly different from the posted solution.
I will follow up with a post about portfolios in the next few days but the intention is:
-
You complete a portfolio by 28th April - it shouldn't take too long to complete, so this should not disrupt your exam preparation.
-
Your portfolio should consist of an estimate of the grade you believe you deserve (after self-reflection): {Top, Middle, Bottom} × {HD, D, C, P}. In addition to tasks completed, factors to consider are how much assistance you needed to complete the tasks; how well you understand your final solution; whether you completed tasks at the level expected of your estimated grade (e.g. completing tasks of lower grades at a level appropriate for your target)
-
You provide evidence supporting your estimated grade (e.g. your best solutions) - note this doesn't necessarily mean only HD-task solutions if you're aiming for an HD; an excellent solution to a C-task may be something worth including.
-
We will evaluate your formatif submissions, guided by (but not dictated by) your portfolio.
The purpose of the portfolio creation is to provide you with some self-reflection on what you've learned over the course. It can be very instructive to look back at your own understanding of the concepts at the start of the course and see how they have changed over the past 10 weeks.

Formatif due dates

Hi all,
Sorry I forgot to update the formatif tasks with the information I've been passing around.
Please try to complete your formatif submissions by 21 April (AOE). This should give your tutors sufficient time to give feedback and for you to respond before the exam date. Extensions are still acceptable, but note that this may limit opportunities for feedback.

End of term pizzas tomorrow!

Hi all,
Even though we still have two lectures to go, I thought I'd bring forward the end of term celebration to the end of tomorrow's lecture (because Wednesday's lecture always seems to be the more popular one)
So tomorrow's lecture will conclude with pizzas! (Don't worry I'm tasking Simon with collecting them so they'll be hot)
So if you haven't come to a lecture in person yet - make tomorrow's lecture the one you come to!
