Tasks example - design study

The MFA allows any number of tasks for an assignment, each task is then provided with the required number of grades. Use a concise name for each task in the list, and a fuller name and description in the text areas. These will be used in the feedback production and therefore help remind the student of the requirements. I usually cut and paste the description from the assignment specification.

A weighting is applied to each task using the contribution of task to assessment value. The contribution to module entry is used to determine the weighting of the assignment (or exam) to the module. This will normally sum to 100% unless there is an element with optional parts, the tool leaves it to the marker to ensure that only the allowable options have been marked, so the values in the information bar show the maximum mark a student who did all of the available assignments/tasks could gain.
