How to assess student’s writing?
Generic Assessment Rubric
• Mainly assess science-related knowledge and generic skills
(e.g. communication skills, problem-solving skills,
critical thinking, creativity)
• Generally suitable for most non-practical related tasks
• Understanding of the chemistry knowledge is demonstrated.
• Skills of information search and handling relevant to the task are manifested.
• Ideas are communicated in a clear and organised manner through written accounts using appropriate forms of presentation (e.g. texts, diagrams, tables and graphs)
• Competency is shown on handling the task.
Chemical Knowledge
• Characteristics of Li-ion battery e.g. structure, voltage, safety concern
• Chemical principles including the half equations
• Use of Li-ion battery in daily life

For writing assignment with subject specific genres
• An assessment tool used to evaluate a student's performance after the assignment is submitted.
• A working guide for students and teachers, usually handed out before the assignment begins in order to get students to think about the criteria on which their work will be judged.
