The current form of the Generic Assessment Criteria (Academic Regulations Policies and Procedures 6f) is the outcome of a collaborative project led by the Centre for Excellence in Learning, the forerunner of FLIE, involving Faculty representatives, the BU Students Union, and Academic Quality, with scrutiny and input from committees, staff consultation events and final ratification from Senate in May 2016. The criteria currently apply to all taught programmes from Level 3 to 7.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/intranetsp.bournemouth.ac.uk\/pandptest\/6f-generic-assessment-criteria-procedure.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n An extract from the policy document:<\/p>\n \u201c1.1 The generic assessment criteria provide an essential frame of reference for the development, review and use of Faculties\u2019 assessment criteria and a means to measure student achievement against specified learning outcomes. As such, they offer a consistent vocabulary for providing feedback to students on their assessment performance. Additional \u2018feedforward\u2019 statements are presented alongside the generic assessment criteria to encourage further learning and academic development. \u201c<\/p>\n It is important to recognise that the Generic Assessment Criteria statements are intended to be supplemented by the markers with assignment-specific, discipline-specific or profession -specific feedback comments. \u00a0An electronic rubric has been developed to be added to the markers\u2019 comments, derived from the Generic Assessment Criteria.<\/p>\n Here is the link to the Brightspace Resources section \u201cUsing turnitin rubrics\u2019<\/p>\n https:\/\/brightspace.bournemouth.ac.uk\/d2l\/le\/content\/18315\/viewContent\/750523\/View<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The policy is underpinned by a principles-based approach <\/strong><\/p>\n The criteria apply to all taught programmes from Level 3 to 7, with a table for each academic level.<\/p>\n The statements refer to the work produced for the assessment and not the student producing it.<\/p>\n This is a key principle adopted by BU and which also underpins the Assignment Design Policy (Academic Regulations Policies and Procedures 6c). \u00a0https:\/\/intranetsp.bournemouth.ac.uk\/pandptest\/6c-principles-of-assessment-design-policy.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n A common set of terminology for each of the grade bands was adopted to encourage a clearer match between the feedback comments provided by the marker and the mark awarded. For example, good <\/em>for 2.2; very good<\/em>for 2.1; excellent<\/em> for 70-79% and outstanding <\/em>for 80+%.<\/p>\n The Generic Assessment Criteria tables should be included in Programme handbooks and it is helpful if they are also included under the Assessment tab in Brightspace for individual units.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anne Quinney, Principal Lecturer, FLIE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The current form of the Generic Assessment Criteria (Academic Regulations Policies and Procedures 6f) is the outcome of a collaborative project led by the Centre for Excellence in Learning, the forerunner of FLIE, involving Faculty representatives, the BU Students Union, and Academic Quality, with scrutiny and input from committees, staff consultation events and final ratification… Read more » about Making full use of the BU Generic Assessment Criteria.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":10904,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[260],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-12079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-assessment-and-feedback","tag-assessment-and-feedback"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12079"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12079\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12080,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12079\/revisions\/12080"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
