Introduction

These guidance notes were developed during the current review of assessment practices at Auckland International Campus (AIC). They are based on the work undertaken so far by four lecturers in AIC’s Experiential Education Initiative working group, whose project is aimed at redesigning assessments in Applied Management, Construction and IT in order to make them more experiential and better suited to the development of employability skills. While the assessments themselves are discipline-specific, the guidance notes from the project are intended to be applicable in other vocational fields of tertiary education. Hence, they do not include technical jargon or non-educational terminology, nor do they provide guidelines or tips for writing standard academic assessment rubrics at any level. The focus throughout remains how to write such rubrics from an experiential perspective.
