<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">A nnexure A = Rationale for design based on theoretical educational literature = = = =Peer review= Name of peer reviewer: Mark Lawrence Comments: Context covers information related to FET band. it definately reltaes to a real world approach. it tests the intelectual capacity of the student and bridge the challenges he/she will face in the world of work. The manner in which you outline the procedure/steps that needs to be followed is of a good standard. What lacks however is the time frames ie (time for completeing the assessment) please insert therefore duration of assessmnet as well as when this will happen. Cognative values are pitched fairly judging by the formulation of the assignment. What stands out for me is the "Rubric" which will reflect a true reflection of the students understanding =Changes implemented after peer review=
