Forms of Assessment

Practical Projects

Description

A practical project is usually set for summative assessment in a vocational or professional area, where students work, individually or in a group, on a task set by the teacher or by negotiation (preferable) which brings together the knowledge and skill requirements of the module or course.

The origin of the term "masterpiece" is in a practical project which marked the graduation of a former apprentice in a traditional trade.
