Assessment+Part+1

Rationale This assessment item is designed to encourage groups of students to explore an aspect of one learning objective as negotiated with the subject coordinator. It also addresses learning objective 5 by providing an opportunity through use of social networking tools to apply concepts of communication, collaboration and teamwork.
 * Part B: Self assessment (completed individually).**
 * 1. Provide an annotated bibliography.** Prepare a critically evaluative annotated bibliography of at least **eight (8) academic resources** that underpinned your presentation and that would be useful for your readers for further information. These items may or may not appear in the reference list provided with your PowerPoint. If you cited them in the presentation, they will appear in both lists. If not, they will appear only in the annotated bibliography. If you are not sure how to write an evaluative annotation, some guidance is available at various points on the web including http://library.uwb.edu/guides/annotations.html An internet search will locate many other sets of guidelines that might be useful. Annotations should each be a minimum of 50 words and no more than 100 words. Maximum word count for this section is **800 words.** The bibliographic references are not included in the word count.
 * 2. Reflective practice.** In order to gain experience in reflective practice, you will prepare a self-assessment of your own learning about collaboration and communication, after determining a number of relevant criteria on which to base this assessment. A score of 1 to 5 (5 being the highest) should be awarded to adequately reflect what you consider to be your own performance as a collaborator and communicator as your worked through Part A with your team.
 * 3. Determine appropriate criteria from your readings about collaboration, teamwork and communication.** Explain the criteria briefly and rate yourself according to the criteria. Provide an explanation of how you arrived at that rating. This reflection provides evidence that markers will use to assess how well you applied the collaboration and communication strategies discussed in your readings.
 * 4. Self-assessment.** The score you give yourself will not provide the actual points for this section. For example, you might score yourself 2 out of 5 but receive a higher score from the marker, if your criteria are well chosen and explained and the explanation shows critical reflection and evaluation. Likewise, you might give yourself a score of 5 out of 5, but actually earn a low score on this section, if the marker determines that in your self-assessment you have poor or no criteria, or the explanation doesn't reflect your performance, or you don't critically reflect on your work.
 * 5. Word limit.** The word limit on the reflective part of the self-assessment is **500 words** not including the bibliography. If you include a table, chart or rubric, that will not be counted in the word limit.
