Assesment
There are a variety of assessments you may be asked to complete during Transition Year. As the teaching methodologies are generally more active and require a greater level of self –direction than at Junior Certificate it is likely you may be asked to complete pieces for assessment in formats you may not have used very often in the past. Examples may be oral presentations, Powerpoint presentations, projects presented in a scrap book, essay style or displayed on an A2 sheet/ board, creating a video, radio programme, traditional exam, organising an event, producing a newsletter or interviewing others.
You may also be asked to work individually or as a group.
However you are assessed it is important to remember that you
must include the following
1. Evidence of your research
2. Appropriate referencing, for example when referencing a book you should
cite it as follows
Doyle, R The Commitments (1987) Vintage,
London
A Website should be cited as
