Which term denotes integrative assessment using skills from the course?

• A. Amplification Section
• B. Standardisation
• C. Judgements
• D. Synoptic Assessment

Answer: (C)

Integrating knowledge from across the course to form a reasoned conclusion is about making professional judgments. This means pulling together evidence, applying criminological concepts and theories, weighing different viewpoints or data, and justifying a clear conclusion with reasoned argument. In this context, the assessment label used for that integration and application of skills is Judgements, because it focuses on the learner’s ability to produce evidence-based conclusions that draw on learning from multiple areas of the course. Other terms refer to different aspects of assessment (like how work is marked or how across-unit synthesis is described in other contexts), but for this item the idea is about producing well-supported judgments that reflect the breadth of learnt skills.
