JavaScript Core 1 Assessments

[ChrisOwen101]

Which module(s) and week(s) does this change effect? Module(s): JS1 Week(s): -

What is the work that needs to be done?

I fairly regularly get requests for assessment pieces that can be given to students at different points in the course.

This assessment piece should include

• A set of aims for the assessment (i.e. what are we trying to assess)
• Any rules for the assessment
• Setup instructions for the assessor and student
• A challenge (can be either created or a coding kata from CodeWars if applicable)
• A marking rubric
• An example solution

See below for an example from JavaScript Core 2

You should make sure that this challenge is appropriate to be completed by students using only the skills learned in JavaScript Core 1

Assessment Aims

For this module we should be trying to assess how well students have grasped the content covered in JS1. This includes but is not exclusive to

• Core JS Skills (if statements, loops, variables, functions)
• Problem Decomposition

Submission

All assessment pieces should submitted here

Why is this work important to do?

This work has been requested by

• Our North West school, as they are thinking about doing more assessments
• Semi-regularly from all of our schools
