Overview of Assessment
Assessment tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including a range of tasks designed to develop techincal expertise and ability to produce screen printed textiles.
Observational checklists, practical tasks, technical file containing printed samples and documentation.
Students will be awarded a grade only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period on the first assessment attempt.
Units assessed as ‘not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ‘competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
All work must be submitted by the due date.
Late submission will not be graded higher than a PASS.
Assessment Tasks
You will undertake 2 Assessment Tasks.
- Experimental Swatch book
- Length Repeat - 1 colour Swiss repeat
Detailed Project briefs, submission items and Assessment criteria provided in class sessions and are available on Blackboard.
*Please note that this course will be graded CHD, CDI, CC, CAG or NYC
