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 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 10 - 15% of the final overall assessment mark (final weighting will be advised by teacher).
Assessments – Written Learning Outcomes Tests (closed book)
This written learning outcome tests will a cover elements not assessed or that need further assessment as a result of the project based assessment.
These tests will have a weighting of 20% each of the final overall assessment mark.
The culmination of all assessments contributes to the final result for this course.
All assessments for this course must be completed to achieve CP (Competency with Pass) grade. A competent grade for each assessment is required to pass this course..
Under special circumstances extension to assessment may be granted. Students are to follow RMIT Special Consideration Policy found in RMIT Policies and procedures link http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=3g3whh1vttr0z;STATUS=A;SECTION=19;PAGE_AUTHOR=Chancellery (unresolved)

Other Information
Competency requirements and Grading:
To be deemed competent students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met. Observation of students performing work is used to confirm competency.
All assessments for this course must be completed to achieve CP (Competent with Pass) to pass this course. In any assessment 50% equates to being Competent with Pass.
Higher gradings are available. The final grade for the course is calculated taking into account the weighting given to the separate assessments.
Gradings available are:
CP - 50 to 59 - Competent with Pass, CC - 60 to 69 - Competent with Credit, CDI - 70 to 79 - Competent with distinction, CHD - 80 to 100 - Competent with High Distinction. NYC - 0 to 49 - Not Yet Competent
