Year 13 Geography 2011

Information

The aim of Geography at Central Hawke’s Bay College is to develop an understanding of the total environment as the home of people.

In Geography this year you will be working towards gaining Level Three credits for the National Certificate of Educational Achievement.

The work you do throughout the year will be assessed in two different ways;

Internal Assessment – assignments and in class tests carried out throughout the year.

          External Assessment – an exam sat at the end of the year.

The year 13 geography programme is assessed against six achievement standards that will help you gain a total of 21 credits. Each has a credit weighting. When you gain credit for an achievement standard the credits contribute to your NCEA.  You can also gain different grades for each achievement standard: Not Achieved, Achieved, Merit, or Excellence.  The grade you achieve is determined by the quality of your work as measured against national standards.

Outlined below are the Level Three Geography achievement standards, the credit weighting of each and how they are assessed.
