What
did
you
value
most
about
the
assessment
structure
in
this
subject
(50%
Orion,
30%
prac,
20%
exam)?
“Worked
well
for
me.
Engaging.”
“I
think
Orion
is
a
fantastic
tool
but
I
would
have
used
it
more
if
the
punishment
for
answering
incorrectly
was
not
so
bad.”
“I
liked
that
I
could start
where
I
had
left
off.”
“Made
it
easier
to
let
me
do
it
at
my
own
pace.
Since
it
was
online
I
could
do
more
of
it
from
home.”
“Get
marked on
questions
you
do
at
home
[opposed]
to
other
subjects
[where]
you
get
marked
mostly
on
test
and
assignments.”
“If
something
was
due
in
another
subject
I
could
focus
on
that
then
come
back
to
Orion
knowing
it’s
not
due
yet.”
“It
worked
very
well
for
me
because
I
tend
to
stress
when
a
final
exam
has
a
huge
percentage
weight.”

In
your
own
opinion
and
from
experience
you
may
have
had
in
other
subjects,
do
you
believe
you
had
deeper
learning
experience
this
way
[adaptive]
compared
to
an
exam-­‐based
assessment
?
Other
subject
you
won’t
do
many
questions
for
each
chapter
but
for
this
subject
I
was
able
to
do
many
questions
on
all
chapters
which
gave
me
a
good
depth
of
knowledge.
It
was
different
because
I
was
able
to
see
improvements
on
a
weekly
basis.
I
didn’t
do
physics
at
school.
So
this
assessment
task
really
helped
me
because
I
was
able
to
do
heaps
of
questions
and
track
my
progress.
Also,
having
a
big
focus
on
[problem
solving]
practise skills
is
much
more
valuable
for
overall
learning.
I
found
I
was
much
more
involved
with
this
style
of
assessment.
Were
there
any
other
skills
you
developed
throughout
the
process
of
this
homework
assessment
task?

not

give
us
the

but
where
we

It
