Students will be able to access information and learning materials through CANVAS>Directory Services and may be provided with additional materials in class. List of relevant reference books, resources in the library and accessible Internet sites will be provided where possible. During the course, you will be directed to websites to enhance your knowledge and understanding of difficult concepts.
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 through the application of learned skills and insights. Full assessment briefs will be provided and can be found on CANVAS.
Assessment Tasks
The assessments are 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.
Assessment 1: Quiz
Assignment 2: Lab Test 1
Assessment 3: Lab Test 2
Assessment 4: Assignment
Students enrolled in Vocational Education and Training qualifications are assessed for ‘Competency’. To be assessed as ‘Competent’ means you have consistently demonstrated the required knowledge and skills to a standard expected in the workplace. To be assessed as Competent in a course, students will need to complete each assessment task to a satisfactory standard.
Results that apply to courses that are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessments are:
• CA - Competency Achieved
• NYC - Not Yet Competent
• DNS - Did not submit for assessment.
Students need to successfully complete all assessment tasks satisfactorily to be competent.
RESUBMISSIONS (for Unsatisfactory):
You will be allowed 1 (ONE) resubmission attempt FOR EVERY ASSESSMENT (for unsatisfactory) only if it constitutes a reasonable attempt.
You must make a reasonable attempt on each submission to be granted a resubmission.
What constitutes a reasonable attempt?
· A reasonable attempt would be attempting to answer all of the questions asked of you to the best of your ability.
· Leaving large sections of your work blank, or not submitting sections, does not show your teacher that you have enough of an understanding of the assessment to be deemed satisfactory, hence would not be considered a reasonable attempt.
· If you submit your work after the deadline without an approved extension from your teacher, it will not be considered a reasonable attempt.
Please note that if you are allowed a resubmission, a new due date will be provided to you (check your feedback carefully).
