To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment – Project Based Assessment - the extent of this assessment will be advised to students at the start of the course.
The project based assessments will focus on different elements of the learning activities and address the students ability to both problem solve and provide meaningful solutions to the practical exercises that cover:
Field work related to the set out of a building.
The project based assessments will have a weighting of between 50% of the final overall assessment mark (final weighting will be advised by teacher).
Written underpinning knowledge assessments (closed book)
There are 2 Written underpinning knowledge assessments. Each will cover elements not assessed or that need further assessment as a result of the project based assessment.
These tests will have a weighting of 25% each of the final overall assessment mark.
