How can I assign a unit check to my students?

In this article, we'll cover two ways to assign a unit check to your student.

Unit checks are summative assessments that are taken at the end of each unit in a progressive curriculum. They consist of 20, 30, or 50 questions and assess a student’s understanding of the key vocabulary and grammar covered in the preceding unit.

Unit checks help you monitor your students' progress at regular intervals. The results show you where your students need more practice so you can help them progress.

Each unit in the A0 - C1 step-by-step curriculum includes a unit check at the end, which revises all the material covered in that unit.

  • For A0 and A1 levels, each unit consists of 3 lessons.
  • For A2 to C1 levels, as well as the Foundational Literacy series, each unit consists of 4 lessons.
  • The Core Curriculum has only 2 lessons in each unit.

It’s best to teach and assign homework for each lesson in the unit before assigning the unit check.

 

You are prompted to assign this assessment when closing the classroom at the end of the last lesson of each unit

  1. Check the boxes to assign both the homework and the assessment (checked by default)
  2. Assign a due date if you wish (if you do, your students will lose access to the assignment after this date).
  3. Assign Selected Items.

A second way to assign the unit check is from the student's page in the Student Management Panel. Click the student's name, then the Assessment tab

Here you can see - 

  1. Unit check number
  2. Lesson status (this student hasn't been enrolled in all lessons and assigned the homework)
  3. A tick if the assessment has been assigned (none here)
  4. The auto-generated score, immediately available to you and the student (none here)
  5. Click to see a preview of the unit check

Click the + in the action column, to assign the assessment

Click 'Assign Assessment'

Although we suggest first teaching and assigning homework from all the lessons in a unit before assigning the unit check, this is up to you as the teacher. If you feel the student already has an understanding of the lesson content, you're free to assign the assessments ad hoc. In this case, follow the second method described above.
