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

Assessment task 1-Test 1(due week 8)

Assessment task 2: Assignment 

  • Part 1 due in week 9
  • Part 2 due in week 16   

Assessment 3: Test 2 due in week 16     

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.

 

Students will have the opportunity to resubmit any assessment deemed unsatisfactory (a minimum of 1 re-submission is allocated per assessment).
