So I have an upcoming listening assessment task in about 4-5 weeks time but it's rly weird :/

so the thing gets uploaded and we listen to it during class. we are then given the writing task and the marking rubric. now heres the thing: we have to write our response in class the day AFTER we are given the question and we'll b able to listen to the thing as many times as we want and bring 1 A4 double sided notes to use (we gotta hand it in to the teacher after). now im pretty sure half the ppl will get their tutors to write the response for them.....

well ggwp

is this a normal way of doing listening assessments?

I only got to listen to some passage read out by my teacher twice and then had to immediately compose an essay.

Notes, not the essay. If they bring in an essay I am sure the teacher can deduct marks.
And don't worry, even if they do get their tutors to write it for this exam, they can't for others because it needs to be in your own ability to adapt to the question. Just kick their ass in a more heavily weighted assessment task :)

But - if you guys have no idea what the text is, they might not be that great at picking up techniques/quotes to suit them. So don't worry.

We were given the text before the holidays haha. and we gotta choose a related text as well. wont rly make a difference either, tutor's can write it for them and they memorise the basic things and expand on it T^T

it weighs 25% (15% listening and 10% writing).
