Which document is used to set assessment activity?

• A. Controlled Assignment Brief
• B. Task Setting
• C. Moderation Submission Deadline
• D. Mark Bands

Answer: (A)

The document that sets the assessment activity is the controlled assignment brief. This is the formal guide that defines exactly what students must do, including the tasks to complete, the structure of the work, any constraints (such as word count or format), and the marking criteria. It serves as the official instruction to both students and assessors, ensuring everyone understands the task in the same way and that the work is evaluated against the same standards. Other options relate to when or how assessment happens or how marks are awarded, but they do not specify the actual activity to be carried out—one is a process for generating tasks, another is a deadline for submission, and another describes the levels used in marking.
