Overview of Assessment
Assessment for this course is ongoing throughout the semester. Your knowledge and understanding of course content is assessed through participation in class exercises, oral/written presentations, and the application of learned skills and insights. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on CANVAS.
Assessment Tasks
This unit of competency is clustered for assessment with MSTAT4005 Analyse influences on textile design and construction
This course is assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment. To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete all the assessment to a satisfactory standard.
Assessment Task 1: Research to Guide Design Due Week 3
This assessment will allow students to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in design research, and locating and analysing information about textile design and construction processes
Assessment Task 2: Design in Response to Research Due Week 9
This assessment will allow students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to design in response to a design brief, using the research gathered in Assessment Task 2, as well as their own visual and trend research. Students will integrate design processes and colour theory to produce a professionally painted textile design.
Assessment Task 3: Textile Design Collection Due Week 15
This assessment will allow students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to apply the textile design process to complete a cohesive range of textile designs in response to a design brief. Students will focus on colour theory, cohesion, design processes, and incorporating feedback.
You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.
Competency is achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period. Students are advised that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to confirm aspects of competency not evidenced in class or through assessments.
Results for this course are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are:
CA: Competency Achieved
NYC: Not Yet Competent
DNS: Did not Submit for Assessment
