National 5 Added Value Unit

Picture
An assignment is a problem-solving exercise with clear guidelines and structure. An assignment is particularly suited to the assessment of outcomes based on applying practical skills and related knowledge and understanding to a situation that involves task management. Assignments are more structured and less open-ended than projects. They differ from practical activities in that they do not have to conform to a prescribed procedure and they are not concerned exclusively with technical skills.  Source: SQA
