VCE ASSESSMENT
Satisfactory VCE unit result
The student will receive an S (satisfactory) for a unit if the teacher determines that the student has:
•
produced work that demonstrates achievement of the outcomes
•
submitted work that is clearly their own.
The school is solely responsible for decisions about satisfactory completion of a unit. Results for each unit must be based on a judgment of satisfactory or non - satisfactory achievement of outcomes.
A teacher ’ s judgement on whether the student has satisfactorily achieved the outcomes for a study as determined by evidence gained through the assessment of a range of set work (learning activities) and assessment tasks (including school - based assessments) must be consistent for all students who are being assessed for levels of achievement in the study and those who are not.
Not satisfactory VCE unit result
The student will receive an N (not satisfactory) for the unit when one or more of the following occurs:
•
the work does not demonstrate achievement of the outcomes
• the student has failed to meet a school deadline for the school - based assessment task (which can include time granted through an extension for any reason or a special provision or both)
• the work cannot be authenticated, for example, through lack of attendance
• there has been a substantial breach of the VCAA ’ s rules and the school ’ s rules and procedures.
Redeeming outcomes – submitting further evidence for satisfactory completion If, in the teacher ’ s judgement, work submitted by a student does not meet the required standard for satisfactory completion, the teacher may consider other work relating to outcomes that has been undertaken and submitted by the student for the unit. This work may include class work, homework, additional tasks or discussions with the student that demonstrate their achievement of the outcome. The school may decide to delay the decision about satisfactory completion to allow a student to complete or submit further work.
