The assessment task
Students were given a sheet with the information and instructions shown below. As can be seen, students were asked to choose one topic, but if they could not write half a page on that, they could then choose another topic as well.
Information Systems 100 Writing Task
Instructions to students
Please write at least half a page on one of the following topics. If you have trouble writing enough, you may choose another topic as well. Please use the reverse of this sheet if you wish to write more.
1. Describe your past experiences with software (what have you used, in what ways, how much, describe your expertise).
2. What do you hope to learn in IS100?
3. What do you see as challenges for you in IS100 and how do you think you can meet those challenges?
4. What challenges do you see in general for you undertaking your degree at Curtin and how do you think you can rise to those challenges?
Legal Framework 100 writing task
Instructions to students
Please write at least half a page on one of the following topics. If you have trouble writing enough, you may choose another topic as well. Please use the reverse of this sheet if you wish to write more.
1. What do you already know about law?
2. How do you see your study of law fitting in with your Curtin degree?
3. What difficulties might you face in undertaking your degree at Curtin?
For the purpose of eliciting a piece of writing which could be allocated into one of the bands below, most topics worked quite well except for topic 1 in the Information Systems task. These topics produced opportunity and scope for complex sentences and indeed for expressing more complex thoughts. Topic 1, on the other hand, tended to be selected by weaker students and generally produced simple sentences with lots of lists. Almost all students managed to write at least half a page.
