Seminar description
The challenge in ENL103S as a first year level subject, that is part of the Retail Business Management (RBM) programme, is to develop teaching and learning strategies that are well aligned with the required specific outcomes of the subject area and the Graduate Attributes (GA) of both the Retail Department and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT).
This requires constant alignment of knowledge, skills and GA’s into assessment strategies, a challenge that all academics wrestle with. The transference of knowledge, and its assessment within the sphere of skills training, its respective GA’s and the respective assessment instruments which would deem our Retail students competent and ready for the functional employment within the Retail Industry, is a highly contested space that many external factors are now impacting upon. In this seminar Nicola will introduce some innovative assessment strategies that she developed to meet this challenge. Furthermore she will reflect on a range of ‘Plan Bs’ – alternative assessment strategies – she devised to respond to the disruptions faced in the context of the #FMF movement last year.
