Directed investigation
Test
There will be a 2 hour-long examination at the end of the semester. Students should have their own graphics
calculator for this subject.
Guidelines for determining Satisfactory Achievement (SA).
 To be eligible for an SA, students must achieve a satisfactory level of achievement for most of the
assessment tasks. All tasks will count toward the school assessment grade.
 The weightings for assessment items are: approximately 50% for tests, 20% for the examination, while the
remaining 30 % is for investigations and/or projects.
Time allocations:
For a Directed Investigation, a minimum of two hours work is typical, whilst for a Project a minimum of 4 hours
work is typical. These tasks require personal homework contributions.
Deadline Policy
Where deadlines have been set, they must be kept. Work submitted after the deadline will receive a zero mark. If
special circumstances mean that it is not possible to achieve a deadline, thus requiring an extension, this must be
negotiated in advance. Missed tests must be attempted at the next available opportunity.
I have read the assessment plan and understand its implications.
