ASSIGNMENTS

As a Mentor, I have to tell my kiddos what is Assignment and Why we are giving the task to complete their assignments in their respective subjects.

An assignment is a piece of (academic) work or task. It provides opportunity for students to learn, practice and demonstrate what they have achieved the learning goals. It provides the evidence for the teacher that the students have achieved the goals. The output can be judged using sensory perception (observing, reading, tasting etc.). The assignment can focus on a product as output (e.g. research report, design, prototype, etc.) and/or a process (e.g. research process, group process) and/or the performance of individual skills or competences (e.g. professional skills, communications skills).
