Course Assessment

Diploma in Library and Information Services

I have outlined before that I have created a blog in order to meet the unit components of creating a website for the purpose of completing a Diploma in Library and Information Services.

My teacher has set up a blog for the class and listed a page on the blog that outlines Assessment requirements.  To make sure i cover all the required assessment criteria I have made the decision to address the criteria by posting tasks and outlining details below.  

To make the requirements easy to identify, I will complete the tasks via post and then list the components that i address in each point below and reference where/when i did the task.  I will label any posts related to the assessment criteria requirements using the label Assessment.

This will hopefully mean my teacher can see that i have completed the required work and will not have to scroll through everything that i have created on my post in order to see where i have met the requirements.
