There seems to be some confusion with some members regarding what the Level 3 exams are going to look like this year.

I have put a copy of the assessment specifications from NZQA below for you all.

The link to this is here: http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications-standards/qualifications/ncea/subjects/assessment-specifications/geography-l3/

Here are some resources and inks that you might find useful.

I also had these links from last year, about the increase of Chinese tourists in Hawaii (for Cultural Processes at level 3),

Resources on the MCE have ben updated for your information.

I have been marking 3.3 and am struggling with part of the standard and would appreciate comment from you (if you have done this standard).

If a student explains in detail and evaluates the planning and decision making involved in the event they would get excellence for this part of the standard.

I see how they need to to indicate the effectiveness (evaluation) of the components of the planning and decision-making however, how essential is it for students to say how the organisation made the decision to do this or that e.g. via Cost Benefit analysis or whatever.

At this stage I have NOT made it essential – my question is – how important is it for Level 3 student to talk about these methods and evaluate them or could a good evaluation of the planning and decision making around say the waste management and catering for the Lantern festival be at Excellence level.

Looking forward to reading your ideas.

Mary

In 2014, maybe there will be another case study for our students to use. The BDO has to apply for resource consent to hold the event at Western Springs – might be a good idea to follow the news on this for next year.
