Assessment Tasks
Summary and purpose of assessment
This assessment is on the submission of a completed pair of shoes, which is based on your original design.
Task instructions
The final shoes are made through the process of first the design then the Prototypes, culminating in a completed pair of shoes.
The final shoes are to reflect industry standards and the students best practice of skills and knowledge of construction.
Conditions for assessment
Submission of final shoes will be in week 16.
The shoes are to be place in a shoe box provided and labelled with student name & number on the "Short" end of the box.
Time will be allocated during class for the duration of Semester 2, for students to seek advice relating to the construction of their shoes..
Criteria for Assessment
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this assessment must be relevant to your design and be completed to a satisfactory standard to obtain a Competent grade.
Examples of evidence to include but not exclusive to are:
Following standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
problem solving
confirming specifications
making calculations
assessing options for method of production
making prototypes
setting up machines for production operations
Completed paperwork
Feedback and grades
Verbal feedback will be provided throughout the semester, and the Final result and Feedback will be provided after final submission.
Assessment tasks will receive the following outcomes:
Competent
Not Yet Competent
Assessment Matrix
