Overview of Assessment
The assessment is conducted in both theoretical and practical aspects of the course according to the performance criteria set in the National Training Package. Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course. To successfully complete this course, you will be required to demonstrate competency in each assessment task detailed under Assessment Tasks: Assessment 1: Quiz Assessment 2: Assignments Assessment 3: Test These tasks assess the following Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs): Assessment Mapping Matrix

Assessment Tasks
The assessment tasks include quiz and drawing based assignments to be completed on the CAD program taught in class. Each drawing gradually steps up in degrees of difficulty as the student develops and gains greater experience with the program and Engineering concepts. Below is a Marking Guideline to assist students understand the grading system and what it takes to achieve a higher grade and improve their performance. A Marking guideline matrix appears in the learning guide for this course.
Students must achieve a result of 50% or greater for the competency tests and assignments combined. If a student fails to submit an assessment they may only pass the course if the elements of competency of that assessment have been passed in another submission. If a re-submission is granted by a teacher, or an alternative assessment offered and a pass grade achieved, then students will not be eligible for a grade higher than 50% regardless of the standard of work. Students may achieve a higher grade if they have been formally granted special consideration by the RMIT Special Consideration Department.
FOR CIVE7787
Assessment 1: Online Quiz
Assessment 2: Assignments
