              MAKE YOUR LEARNING VISIBLE

              How you will practise and be assessed.

              The planned assessment checks your result, your judgement and your ability to apply what you learned independently.

              1. 01

                Build the promised result

                Demonstrate the promised artifact

                WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOW

                A fixed evaluation set covers answerable, missing and contradictory evidence; no invented citations.

              2. 02

                Test a limit or failure

                Test conflicting sources and untrusted text

                WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOW

                The documented failure/uncertainty is visible, and no prohibited action or unsupported success claim occurs.

              3. 03

                Apply it independently

                Independently explain and change one assumption in a document assistant with source-linked answers.

                WHAT YOUR WORK SHOULD SHOW

                The learner predicts and verifies the change; AI output is not accepted without understanding.
