=Course documentation provides students with a description of the programme of assessment and the relationship between the individual assessment tasks and other learning activities. =

Evidence
Students are more likely to take a deep approach to learning if they are intrinsically motivated. To be intrinsically motivated they need to see the relevance and importance of what they are being required to do. This necessitates an appreciation of the structure of the learning activities, the pedagogical approach and how assessment relates to the activities. Also, assessment systems must be unthreatening, fair and the assessment process and criteria should be explicit and transparent to students (Rust 2002).
